外籍教師教學證書的真相（Tefl，Tesol，Tesl證書解讀）

在外教需求日趨強烈的當下，我國對于外教資質的基本標準也已經開始逐步收緊，同樣的，越來越多的學校開始意識到僅僅作為一個外國人是沒有辦法給學生提供真正的教學指導的。

那么今天，我們跟大家分享的是關于教學證書的真實情況，到底什么樣的教學證書才是真正有含金量的；除了常見證書，還有哪些必要條件能夠幫助我們判斷一位外教真正的教學能力。

At a time when the demand for foreign teachers is increasing, China ’s basic standards for foreign teacher qualifications have gradually tightened. Similarly, more and more schools are beginning to realize that as a foreigner, there is no way to provide students with real instruction .

So today, we are sharing with you the true situation of teaching certificates. What kind of teaching certificate is really gold-bearing? In addition to common certificates, what are the necessary conditions to help us judge the true teaching ability of a foreign teacher.

1、 Tefl證書

1、 Tefl certificate

Tefl全稱是TeachingEnglish as a Foreign Language。目前Tefl證書為全球普遍承認和接受，是國際認可的通用英語教師資格證書。Tefl證書證明外教在外語口語和教學方法上經過了一定的培訓,掌握了一定的技巧。

Tefl培訓主要教學內容包括：基于課堂的語言學習及教學研究、語言教學中的測試與評估、英語外語教學教學法、第二語言習得之理論與實踐和計算機輔助教學。

這是最為常見的證書，是在線就可以獲得的證書，不需要外教真正具有教學經驗，也不需要經歷好幾個月的培訓和學習，只需要在網站上隨便找到提供這個課程的線上課程，花上幾天學習考試，就可以獲得。發證方，甚至也無跡可尋。把它作為外教選擇的第一位，實在不可取，當然我們不排除有在線下Tefl中心認真學習、認真考取證書的外籍老師。在此，要提醒各位校方招聘老師的是，除了這份證書，還請仔細查看外教的教學背景以及工作經歷，一個具有實戰經驗的外教才是真正能夠長遠為您的學生傳授知識，為您的學校建立聲譽的人。

那么，除了這一個證書，還有哪些證書可以做考量呢？HaoLaoshi.school整理了以下信息，以協助各位老師對外籍教師進行判別，以此招到更適合自己學校學生的外籍教師。

The full name of Tefl is TeachingEnglish as a Foreign Language. The Tefl certificate is currently recognized and accepted worldwide and is an internationally recognized general English teacher qualification certificate. The Tefl certificate proves that foreign teachers have received certain training and mastered certain skills in oral English and teaching methods.

The main teaching contents of Tefl training include: classroom-based language learning and teaching research, testing and assessment in language teaching, English foreign language teaching methods, theory and practice of second language acquisition, and computer-assisted teaching.

This is the most common certificate. It is a certificate that can be obtained online. It does not require foreign teachers to have actual teaching experience or months of training and learning. You only need to find online courses that provide this course on the website. Spend a few days studying the exam and you can get it. The issuer is even missing. It is not advisable to use it as the first choice of foreign teachers. Of course, we do not rule out foreign teachers who study hard and earn a certificate in the offline Tefl Center. Here, I would like to remind all schools to recruit teachers. In addition to this certificate, please also carefully check the teaching background and work experience of foreign teachers. A foreign teacher with practical experience can truly impart knowledge to your students in the long run. People who build reputation in schools.

So, in addition to this certificate, what other certificates can be considered? HaoLaoshi.school has compiled the following information to assist teachers in identifying foreign teachers, so as to recruit foreign teachers who are more suitable for their school students.

2、 Tesol證書

2、 Tesol Certificate

Tesol全稱是Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages，即“對外英語教學”。Tesol證書由美國Tesol教育學會頒發，被國際組織認可，此外在英國、澳洲等英語國家，大部分學校和語言培訓機構也認可Tesol證書。

美國Tesol證書要求參加Tesol學習的人已經具備一定的英語水平，Tesol培訓和學習將提高其教學水平，幫助其掌握教授母語為非英語的英語教學的方法和理論。Tesol證書肯定了證書持有者作為英語教師在教非英語為母語的學生時的教學資格和教學能力。

Tesol stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The Tesol certificate is issued by the American Tesol Education Association and recognized by international organizations. In addition, in English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia, most schools and language training institutions also recognize the Tesol certificate.

The American Tesol certificate requires that those who participate in Tesol learning already have a certain level of English. Tesol training and learning will improve its teaching level and help it master the methods and theories of teaching English as a foreign language. The Tesol certificate confirms the certificate holder’s teaching qualifications and teaching ability as an English teacher when teaching non-English speaking students.

3、 Tesl證書

3、 Tesl certificate

Tesl全稱是Teaching English as a Second Language，獲得這個證書的老師是專門向英語并非第一語言的學生教授英語。Tesl證書著重于英語作為外語教學的有效方法，試圖建立一個非母語教學的溝通接觸的共同點，狠抓聽、說、讀、寫技巧，并傳授語法、詞匯等傳統教學領域中的方法。Tesl證書也是在全球范圍內被廣泛認可的。

* Tefl、Tesol和Tesl證書的區別與聯系。

目前在國內基本上Tesol、Tefl和Tesl證書都已經被混用了，三者沒有被嚴格的區別，都被作為外教資格證來看待。目前國內高校和稍微專業一點的英語培訓中心招聘外教都會要求三個證書之一，同時這些證書也是外教辦理外國專家證的重量級砝碼。

Tefl、Tesl和Tesol都是針對教授非英語母語的學生的，因此這些證書對于教英美等英語母語國家的學生沒有說服力。另外這些證書對持有者的國籍和母語沒有要求，因此美國人可以考取這個證書，法國人、西班牙人和中國人也可以擁有。

嚴格來講,Tesol證書包含了Tesl證書的內容，它們是在“英語系國家”（即以英語為母語的國家，如美國、加拿大、英國、澳大利亞、南非、新西蘭等國家），以非英語為母語的學生為教學對象；Tefl證書則是在“非英語系列國家”，教授外國人英文作為第二語言。

The full name of Tesl is Teaching English as a Second Language. The teacher who obtained this certificate is specialized in teaching English to students whose English is not the first language. The Tesl certificate focuses on English as an effective method of foreign language teaching, tries to establish a common point of communication and contact in non-native language teaching, pays close attention to listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and teaches methods in traditional teaching areas such as grammar and vocabulary. Tesl certificates are also widely recognized worldwide.

* The difference and connection between Tefl, Tesol and Tesl certificates.

At present, Tesol, Tefl and Tesl certificates have been mixed in China. The three are not strictly distinguished, and all are treated as foreign teacher qualifications. At present, the recruitment of foreign teachers in domestic colleges and universities and slightly more specialized English training centers will require one of the three certificates. At the same time, these certificates are also heavyweights for foreign teachers to apply for foreign expert certificates.

Tefl, Tesl, and Tesol are aimed at teaching non-native English speakers, so these certificates are not convincing to students in English-speaking countries such as Britain and the United States. In addition, these certificates do not require the nationality and native language of the holder, so Americans can take this certificate, and French, Spanish, and Chinese can also have it.

Strictly speaking, Tesol certificates contain the contents of Tesl certificates. They are in “English-speaking countries” (that is, English-speaking countries, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and other countries). Native-speaking students are the subject of teaching; Tefl certificates are taught in “non-English-speaking countries” and foreigners are taught English as a second language.

4、 CELTA證書

4、 CELTA certificate

全稱英國劍橋大學成人英語語言教學證書Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults。

對具有較少或完全沒有教學經驗的人士來說，CELTA是其進入英語教學領域的首要資格認證。CELTA證書，屬于Tesol證書體系的高級類別，不僅是適用教授成人英語的教師資格證書，也是英國繼續教育教學證書及Tesol國際英語教師資格證書的組成部分。

每年，有超過1000人順利完成CELTA課程的學習。目前，全球很多從事語言教學的機構均承認CELTA證書，該證書已被列入英國國家教學大綱標準(National Qualifications Framework)。

Full name Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults.

For those with little or no teaching experience, CELTA is the primary qualification for entering the field of English teaching. The CELTA certificate, which belongs to the advanced category of the Tesol certificate system, is not only a teacher qualification certificate suitable for teaching adult English, but also a part of the British continuing education teaching certificate and the Tesol international English teacher qualification certificate.

Every year, more than 1,000 people successfully complete the CELTA course. At present, many institutions engaged in language teaching around the world recognize the CELTA certificate, which has been included in the British National Qualifications Framework.

5、 TKT證書

5.TKT certificate

TKT(Teacher Knowledge Test)是為建教授母語為非英語國家的中小學或成人英語教師研發的英語教學能力證書，主要測試考生對語言及語言應用基本概念的掌握，以及對教學與學習的背景知識及實踐過程的把握。該證書具有國際水準，

劍橋大學考試委員會(University of Cambridge LocalExaminations Syndicate)是權威的教育測試機構。英語教學能力證書 (TKT) 是劍橋大學考試委員會外語考試部(Cambridge ESOL)專為英語教師開發設計的證書考試。劍橋大學外語考試部自1913年開始推廣英語考試項目，至今已推出一系列針對英語學習者及英語教師的考試、證書與文憑。

TKT主要是英語教學知識水平測試，TKT雖然還不具備像TESOL國際英語教師資格證書，具有全球通用性和普遍認可。但是非常適合剛剛從事英語教學人士參加，只要參加考試就能獲得證書。

TKT (Teacher Knowledge Test) is an English teaching ability certificate developed for primary and secondary school or adult English teachers who teach non-English speaking countries. It mainly tests candidates’ mastery of basic concepts of language and language application, and background knowledge of teaching and learning And grasp of the practical process. The certificate is of international standard,

The University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate is an authoritative educational testing institution. The Certificate in Teaching English (TKT) is a certificate test developed by Cambridge ESOL for English teachers. The University of Cambridge’s Foreign Language Examinations Department has been promoting English examinations since 1913 and has launched a series of exams, certificates and diplomas for English learners and English teachers.

TKT is mainly a test of English teaching knowledge level. Although TKT does not yet have an international English teacher qualification certificate like TESOL, it is universal and universally recognized. However, it is very suitable for those who are just engaged in teaching English. They only need to take the exam to get a certificate.

6、 PGCE

6.PGCE

PGCE(postgraduate certificate in education)和PGDE(postgraduate diploma in education)大致相同，一般英國本土叫PGCE，海外包括港、澳、新加坡、新西蘭等國家和地區叫PGDE。它是一個為期一年到兩年的教師培訓課程，一般由大學主導，是成為合格教師的必要流程之一。

劃重點：這是一個課程。

該課程相當于Master level碩士級別的課程(NQF Level-7)。在英國已經獲得碩士學位的，也可以就讀這個課程。PGCE可以選擇的課程領域非常多，數學，英文，物理，化學，音樂，語言等。

PGCE (postgraduate certificate in education) and PGDE (postgraduate diploma in education) are roughly the same. Generally speaking, the British mainland is called PGCE, and the overseas countries and regions including Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, and New Zealand are called PGDE. It is a one- to two-year teacher training course, generally led by a university, and one of the necessary processes to become a qualified teacher.

Focus: This is a course.

This course is equivalent to a Master level course (NQF Level-7). Those who have obtained a master’s degree in the UK can also take this course. PGCE has a wide range of courses to choose from, such as mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, music, language, etc.

7、 QTS證書

7.QTS certificate

QTS(Qualified Teacher Status)是英國的教師執照，有點類似于中國的教師資格證。一般來說，在英國本土讀完PGCE經過實習之后自動授予QTS，具有在英國執教的資格。除了讀PGCE以外，還有幾種方式取得QTS。比如已經在當地學校有職位的人，可以考慮向學校申請GTP項目，這是一項帶薪培訓，經過一年的培訓，也可以獲取QTS。

QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) is a British teacher’s license, which is similar to a Chinese teacher’s qualification certificate. Generally speaking, QTS is automatically granted after internship in PGCE in the UK, and is qualified to teach in the UK. In addition to reading PGCE, there are several ways to obtain QTS. For example, people who already have positions in local schools can consider applying to the school for the GTP project, which is a paid training. After one year of training, they can also get QTS.

教師要與學校達成匹配，除了您的要求，他的考量也是標準之一。

The teacher has to match the school, and in addition to your requirements, his consideration is also one of the criteria.

舉個例子，您可能要求具有PGCE科目教學能力的教師來到您的學校教授3-6歲的孩子，也不能要求只有Tefl證書的老師去國際學校進行專業考核性授課。把腳放進合適的鞋子里，才能彼此配合，一起走的更遠。

For example, you may require teachers with PGCE subjects to come to your school to teach children aged 3-6, or you may not require teachers with a Tefl certificate to go to an international school for professional assessment. Put your feet in the right shoes to cooperate with each other and go further together.
