With a population of over 5 million people, Ho Chi Minh City
Formally known as Saigon, is a thriving metropolis with the best and worst that mankind can dish up and in a quirky kind of way, an English language school on what seems like every street corner. Positions that would ordinarily be occupied by McDonalds or some other fast food chain in a developed, western country.
English language schools need English language teachers and another interesting phenomenon in Ho Chi Minh City is the influx of institutions that offer TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) training programs. TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City is all about providing people with the skills and certification they need to secure ongoing English language teaching jobs. So, what does TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City typically involve?
Cost
There are options for TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City to suit all budgets, but like so many areas in life, you get what you pay for. Online TESOL courses are cheap as chips and if you hunt around you might find a program for as low as US $200.00. With a cheap, online TESOL course, it would pay to ask yourself: 1. will the program that is on offer adequately prepare me for work as an ESL teacher; and 2. how will a potential employer (a school) respond to my online TESOL certification. Face-to-face TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City offered by a reputable provider such as AVSE-TESOL typically costs around US $1,500.00. The good news is the higher fee often comes with government accreditation, a job guarantee and in some instances accommodation for the duration of the study program.
Time commitment
My research into TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh turned up courses that can be completed in less than week and others than can take a month or even longer. You will make up your own mind about whether less than week is sufficient time to learn the vocational skills you need to productive ESL (English as a second language) teacher. Personally, I wouldn’t have thought so. In contrast, TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City at AVSE-TESOL involves 150 hours of study over a 4-week period. The 150 hours can be broken down as follows: 8 hours of observing qualified ESL teachers taking classes; 12 hours of teaching practice with ‘real’ students involved in ongoing classes; 80 hours of face-to-face tuition with qualified TESOL educators who are native English speakers; and 50 hours of assignments and other course related work.
Eligibility
While most providers of TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City require TESOL students to have a university degree to gain admission to their study program this isn’t the case at AVSE-TESOL. They welcome all comers – those who hold a degree, people who don’t hold a degree, native English speakers and non-native English speakers. The core requirement to gain admission to TESOL training in Ho Chi Minh City offered by AVSE-TESOL is advanced English language skills.
