Is IHCYL for me?
Here are a few reasons for
taking the teacher trainer program for Young Learners:
- English is the fastest growing language in the world
and as the world gets smaller through the use of technology, English
becomes ever more important for international communication.
- ESL teachers are well paid and well respected professionals
that are always in demand, wherever they may be.
- If you decide to travel, it is the single greatest
investment you can make. You can literally teach your way around the
world for the rest of your life.
- Teaching English to international students is one
of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of your life. You will
not only learn about other cultures, but will have the privilege to
teach others about your culture and your language.
- Employers abroad may offer you a position teaching children and require you to have some course background and practicum.
- More often than not, having a specialty such as teaching children, makes your resume stand out from all the rest - a very marketable asset.
