TEFL is Fun and Beneficial to All People Involved

By Teally Johnson

Looking back to learning to first read and the excitement one feels when accomplishing this goal is also very satisfying to the teacher.

The opportunity to make a difference for someones life that affects literally everything they do is a wonderful reward. Seeing students accomplish many tasks and knowing that they will be able to overcome obstacles in education, work and life in general brings joy to all involved. There is never a dull moment and a great sense of humor keeps the learning wheel well oiled.

There is nothing more satisfying than meeting goals. With TEFL there are several goals to be met by devoted students. What joy the teacher feels when these goals are met over and over again.

True bonding must occur by cheerful greetings and taking the time to pace oneself. If a teacher exudes confidence the student is bound to desire the same. When driven by this challenge the student will take home what they learn and apply it right away. A new world opens up, allowing for more options for happiness.

Approaches to teaching that are varied serve in keeping students interested and involved. The is no need to strictly go by a textbook. Practical exercises such as learning how to shop and dine are beneficial as this is the life students live. TEFL includes teaching how to get along in the world of work as a priority.

Students who attend these classes come in with the serious desire to learn and appreciate all that is done to help them. This foreign travel opens a gateway for opportunity and a pathway to peace. There is great satisfaction on both parts. The joy that comes alive with knowing others are learning is awesome.

Teachers will quickly admit that they have to keep their own educational skills fresh. Otherwise the chance for burnout can increase. Students will also suffer. TEFL opportunities can refresh and renew enthusiasm on the part of teachers. With this renewal all aspects of teachers lives will be enhanced.

Opportunities abound from reading the daily news, reading a book to a child in English, to going forth to earning that college degree. Teaching brings so much joy and satisfaction for both the students and teachers.
