  Foreign Language, or simply, English language

  as Teaching English to Speakers of Other
  Languages (TESOL), English Language Teaching
  (ELT), and teaching ESL (English as a Second
  Language). The field of TEFL/TESOL represents one
  of the fastest growing educational fields in the
  world. The field presents thousands of excellent
  professional opportunities for teaching english
  abroad in all corners of the globe to native and
  fluent English speakers who earn their TEFL/TESOL
  certification.

TEFL or TESOL Certification and requirements for
getting a job teaching English abroad!

• To Teach English as a Foreign Language in a
  foreign country (non-native English speaking
  country), a TEFL Certification is typically
  required as schools and language institutes want
  to hire teachers who have received proper
  training. You don't need to possess a degree in
  education, prior teaching experience, or even a
  college degree to get paid to teach English
  abroad. Private language schools abroad, online
  teaching companies and government programs that
  recruit native English speakers to teach abroad
  all seek to hire people who have received a
  certain degree of professional level training.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A ACCREDITED TEFL
CERTIFICATION COURSE?

• With the growing prevalence of online education,
  one question that frequently arises from those
  seeking to teach English abroad is can I
  actually early a valid TEFL certification online
  that employers will recognize when I apply for
  jobs to teach English overseas?
• The answer is "Yes" - as long your online TEFL
  course is accredited and meets all of the
  standards outlined above.  If you seek a truly
  professional-level certification that will
  provide you with the skills, resources and
  qualifications you need to get a top job, be
  mindful that many online TEFL  courses -
  especially the cheaper ones - do not meet these
  standards. Online TEFL classes that do not
  include a practicum for example, are not
  recognized by many language schools and TEFL
  programs around the world.
