Its technical level represents the international level of English teaching skills. With TESOL certificate, you can become an expert in English language teaching, that is, you have the qualification to teach English as a second language in all countries of the world. Presumably, this is what most English majors dream of.

3. TESOL professionals in Britain can be divided into three categories:

(1) Applicants with language background

TESOL majors generally require students to have a linguistic background. Among the courses offered in British universities, there are almost no courses that are completely connected with English majors in China. Besides accepting business and media majors, TESOL course is a good choice.

(2) Applicants with no language background.

Some institutions can also accept applicants who have no language background but love English teaching.

Many TESOL majors require 1 2 or even 3 years of relevant work experience to apply.

With the acceleration of educational globalization, English as an international language is becoming more and more important. In China, due to the rapid development of market economy, exchanges and cooperation with the international community are becoming more and more frequent, and it is inevitable to popularize school education in line with international standards. In addition, the arrival of the upsurge of learning English for all shows the shortage of high-level and high-quality English teachers in China. There are few international English teachers with standardized and standardized professional teaching skills. Therefore, the demand for international teacher resources is more urgent. Therefore, the employment prospects of TESOL graduates after returning to China should not be underestimated.
