What is TESOL certification?

TESOL certification stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. It is a credential that prepares individuals to teach English to students whose first language is not English, either abroad or in English-speaking countries. Earning a TESOL certificate typically involves coursework in language instruction methods, classroom management, and lesson planning. Many employers require TESOL certification as a minimum qualification for English teaching positions. The certification can be obtained through online or in-person programs and may vary in length and depth.
