Max stood in front of the refrigerators in the supermarket about to pick up a milk carton when Tara, one of their friends, walked up to him seeming happy about something.

“Congratulations!” Tara says excitedly, Max looks at her confused not sure what it was about.

“Uh thank you?” Max questions. “About what?” Tara softly laughs thinking he was joking.

“On the pregnancy, of course,” Tara says. “I mean, that’s amazing news.”

“Pregnancy?” Max asks, Tara’s excitement slowly fades away as she realizes that he had no idea.

“Oh... you really don’t know.” Tara trails off, it dawns on her that she could have spoiled a surprise. “Uh, just forget I said anything.” His eyebrows move closer together as his forehead wrinkled in confusion and displeasure.

“Know about what?” Max asks.

“I uh, um have to go,” Tara says, with quick short steps Tara scurried away from him.

“Pregnancy?” Max mumbles to himself, he picks up the carton of milk and almost drops it to the ground. “Wait, what? (Y/n)’s pregnant?” He puts the milk back into the fridge deciding to go straight home to confront his girlfriend about what he had just heard.

Max arrives home, the smell of the food (Y/n) was preparing for them filled his nose, but right now he was angry, he wanted an explanation.

“Back already?” (Y/n)’s soft calming voice asks him as he enters the kitchen, she took out the chicken and rice oven dish. “Uh, Where’s the milk and bread?”

“I uh… that’s not important right now.” Max says, (Y/n)’s eyes showed confusion as her forehead wrinkled.

“What? What do you mean by that?” (Y/n) asks. “We kinda need the milk, I don’t care about the bread, but we’re out of milk.”

“I’ll go get it later,” Max says. “| just- I uh ran into Tara at the store.” He rubs the back of his head indicating that he wasn’t sure how to approach the topic, (Y/n) nods her head as she places the oven dish on the stovetop.

“Oh, how is she doing?” (Y/n) asks, she turns the oven off, this was his chance to bring it up, and he wasn’t going to let it slip through his fingers, he needed an explanation.

“She congratulated me on the pregnancy.” Max states, (Y/n) slowly removes her oven mitts as she realized what was going on, he had found out and not the way she wanted him to find out. “Are you pregnant, (Y/n)?”

“Uh, um.” (Y/n) stutters as she tries to find the right words to say. “I am, but I can explain.”

“When were you planning on telling me? When we were in the delivery room?” Max asks, she could hear the anger in his voice. “Why did I have to hear from our friend?”

“I was going to tell you when you got home.” (Y/n) says. “But you were so tired I didn’t want to bother you.”

“Bother me?” Max asks. “(Y/n), this is big news, you wouldn’t have bothered me with this.” He runs his hand through his hair, frustrated. “How many of our friends know?” (Y/n) looks down at her feet. “(Y/n)?”

“Almost all of them.” (Y/n) mutters.

“Several people knew about my baby before I did?!” Max says loudly, (Y/n) looks up at him, she could see his jaw clenched and his eyes squinting with anger, maybe telling everyone before she had told him wasn’t such a good idea, she thought.

“All right, you’re angry with me, I know, but I was just so excited!” (Y/n) tries to explain herself. “I couldn’t keep it to myself, and I didn’t want to tell you over the phone.”

“It would have been better if you had,” Max says, he was trying his best not to shout or yell. “Do you have any idea how foolish I felt when Tara congratulated me and I had no idea that you were carrying our child?”

“Telling somebody that you’re pregnant isn’t something you can just say over the phone.” (Y/n) says. “I was in the wrong not to tell you, and I’m sorry.” Mex lets out a sigh, he needed to get fresh air and let the anger out before he yelled at her, which was the last thing that he wanted to do.

“I just, I need some air,” Max says, This wasn’t how (Y/n) had imagined he would react to her pregnancy, but maybe she should have tried harder to keep it to herself, but hearing him say that he needed air made her freeze, was he going to leave? Was he that angry? She thought.

“You’re coming back, right?” (Y/n) asks, her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes wide showing fear, fear that he would leave her, Max’s eyes soften seeing her in such a state.

“Of course I am,” Max says. “I just need some air.” (Y/n) slowly nods her head as she wraps her arms herself, Max leaves the apartment, leaving (Y/n) alone with her thoughts.

48 minutes had passed when Max returned to the apartment with the milk and bread he had gotten on his way back, he makes his way to the kitchen and placed the milk in the fridge and the bread on the table, he looks at the untouched food in the oven dish on top of the stove.

“(Y/n)?” Max alls out, he leaves the kitchen making his way to the bedroom, (Y/n) laid on the bed staring out the window, her back facing the door. “Hey, I’m back.” (Y/n) rolls onto her back to look at him, he makes his way towards the bed. “I’m sorry for the way I reacted.”

“It’s all right.” (Y/n) says. “I shouldn’t have told everyone.” She lets out a sigh. “At least not before telling you.” Max lays down on the bed next to her.

“I’m really happy about this,” Max says. “We’re going to be parents.” (Y/n) turns her head to smile at him. “I’m going to be a dad.” He lays his hand on her stomach. “I can’t believe this.” He smiles to himself. “Did you tell our parents as well?” (Y/n) softly chuckles.

“No.”

Starry Eyed Boy, Part 3

Summary: He already asked to leave, so he has to stick by his decision. Later he’d find out, it wasn’t really that hard to leave.

Pairings: Pre-Romantic Analogical / Eventual Analogical

Word Count: 1,033

Warnings: none that i can think of! lmk if i need to add any!

Notes: this is probably the last update for a little while (at most a week), as i’m in the process of moving! and i’d like to thank everyone that has liked or commented or reblogged or asked to be on the taglist!! it makes writing feel worth it! (and yes more people can ask to be on the taglist, but please PM or ask!!)

Taglist: @shitpost-sides @aleiimm @rainbowbowtie @hikarisakurariver @singularthoughtofstatic

Virgil had asked to leave already, so there's no backing out now... right? Right. He made his decision. In all honesty, he was terrified. Any moment now Logan would be there to pick him up. To take him away from everything he’d ever known. Maybe he was putting to much trust in a stranger. No, that couldn't be right either. Logan had a presence to him, it made Virgil feel safe. Virgil chalked it up to being near someone that wasn’t entirely human. Or human at all for that matter.

Virgil took a deep breath and shoved the last of his clothes into his suitcase. It was only a two week trip to Artesk (again, it is thousands of lightyears away, Virgil couldn’t expect much, could he?) a and Logan had already told him he needn’t bring more clothes than necessary, but Virgil did it anyways. Virgil waited exactly a minute and forty-five seconds before he heard a doorbell ring.

When Virgil opened the door the first thing he saw was dark blue and grey. Virgil blinked before focusing on the other man. It was definitely Logan, his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses, but instead of a dark shirt and blue necktie, Logan was wearing what looked like a tuxedo. A dark blue button-up and grey overcoat and pants. The sight made Virgil's mouth go a bit dry.

“Are you ready to leave?” Logan asked, and if Virgil was paying any attention at all, he would’ve noticed the hint of smugness behind Logan's words.

---

Now, this is something Virgil was definitely not expecting. A two-hour drive into the middle of nowhere, into a golden wheat field, and nothing else in sight. Even Logan, a man not intuned with emotions much, could see the cogs in Virgil's head. Logan only took the bags Virgil had put in the trunk and started walking through the field. The sun was setting, and all Virgil could do was stare. Logan's silhouette made his heart stutter in his chest and Virgil swore he could hear singing in the distance, it was only the wind. Ever so gentle, it flew through Virgil's hair, the same wisp of air flowing between the stalks of wheat and pushing past Logan. A sort of soft feeling settled in Virgil's bones and before he knew what he was doing he was walking, no, running towards Logan to catch up. When Virgil showed up in Logan's peripheral vision, Logan turned his head towards him. With an infinitesimal smile and a tiny nod, they settled into a comfortable quiet. Virgil even had the courage, at one point, to take one of his bags back from Logan.

A twenty-minute walk later and Logan randomly stopped in his tracks. He held out his open hand (thanks to Virgil), the air wobbled a moment before the empty field had a high-tech spaceship before Virgil's eyes. A door slides open and Logan walks in. Virgil can only follow behind.

What Virgil sees inside the ship is also not what he expected to see. Dark brown wooden floors and comfortable seating lined with soft, white, fur. Yellow light showed from the lights on the walls. Not cold and metal, no bright L.E.D. lights that hurt Virgil's eyes. Virgil only snapped back into reality when he heard an unfamiliar whoosh sound. Logan was watching Virgil with an intent yet analyzing gaze.

“Would you like to see your sleeping quarters?” Logan asked, his almost mechanical voice prominent again. Virgil nodded.

Virgil watched as Logan walked down a short hallway, hardwood floors matching those of the entrance. Dark walls and yellow light too. Logan stopped quite quickly and pressed a small button where a door handle would be. The door slid open and Virgil was met with a room that looked quite... homely.

“I hope this is adequate. Emile wanted me to depart as soon as he picked up on your signal, so we got the small-sized A120.” Logan explained, setting down Virgil’s bag. Virgil set down the other one he had too.

“I like it... a lot actually,” Virgil mumbled. “How do we get there? Like do you drive this thing or something?” Virgil asked before he could think about it. His eyes widened. “Sorry if that's rude or something I’m- I'm just curious.”

“Being curious is nothing to be ashamed of. I’d rather someone be overly curious than boring.” Logan said before continuing. “And no, I don’t drive this, necessarily. I am trained in flight but an A120 has one of the best autopilots in the Milkyway. I will explain more later but you need rest. When you wake up, I will show you around more.” Logan said. Virgil sent him a small smile as he left. Virgil heard the whoosh of the door opening and closing once again. Once gone, Virgil took in what the bed looked like. He walked over to it and pressed his hand firmly against it. It sunk in without to much pressure, but not too little. The sheets felt soft yet silky and even though they were white, they were spotless. Virgil smiled a bit and went to his bags to get pajamas. Once dressed and comfortable, Virgil laid down. And if he couldn’t figure out how to turn off the lights, that didn’t mean he wasn’t getting a good night's rest. He pulled the blanket above his head and after two minutes, he was asleep.

---

Logan, in perfect and utter clarity, was a mess. Logan knew what was happening and he knew damn well it was too early to fall for him. That shy attitude and those deep brown eyes made him weak in the knees. When Logan heard him talk, the deep gravely voice filling his ears, it made his heart pound. And when Logan saw the blush on Virgil's face when he saw Logan in the tuxedo, it definitely didn’t make Logan feel a small amount of smugness.

Oh no... I’m in deep, aren’t I? Logan thought as he reached his room. It’s only for two weeks. Figure out who he really is.

Logan, in perfect and utter clarity, was a stubborn, hotheaded, smartass, Teskian. Logan is a lot of things, but he is not stupid.

Reflective blog post

Introduction:

The aim of this unit was to develop an application portfolio for a Warner Bros role as well as creating a Brand me Poster. The idea of the poster was to create something that promoted me like a CV. In terms of the Warner Bros application I chose to write this based on the creative service marketing games placement role that was available to choose from. For the placement role I was required to write three STAR examples based on teamwork, communication and problem solving.

Did I feel comfortable or uncomfortable with any aspect of the tasks? Why?

For me both aspects of the task I struggled with. The brand me poster was something that I have never previously done before as I have never personally written something that promotes me as person. Finding things that were positive about me was difficult as I personally am not very confident in myself. However I overcame this by using results from my psychometric tests which provided me with relatively reliable information about myself, this helped me become more comfortable with the project. In regards to cover letter as I have not written many before it was also something I’m not comfortable with, I used purple door as a resource to gain a better understanding of the requirements of a good cover letter.

Did I attend a Peer Mentor Pair Review appointment and if what actions did I take as a result?

To review the content of my placement application I attended a peer mentor pair review appointment. From this I learnt that my STAR examples were very good and that they only needed minor changes to the action stage were needed for it to be more effective. These were therefore implemented before the submission of the application allowing me to improve the potential of a successful application.

What can I change in the future?

In terms of repeating this project I feel that one thing I would change is that I should follow the STAR method more precisely as I feel my application did not apply the model as much as i could. I feel that from this project I have learnt to how to better express myself when it comes to CV and cover letter writing, as well as gain experience in answering questions asked by companies. This project has definitely helped me for future situations.

What knowledge from theory and research can I apply to this situation?

A study called ‘Using Blogs as Practice Writing About Original Neuroscience Papers Enhances Students' Confidence in their Critical Analysis of Research’ found that “students' attitudes and self-efficacy as well as writing quality improve when they are provided with opportunities for practice and feedback.” (Spix, T,. et al, 2018). Which I agree with as I feel that this project has developed my confidence and abilities in this as well as other projects.

Expedition Log A120

Date: 03/11/2427 Commander: Penn Draugon Fleet: Aritite 6 Expedition Log A120

Tsula, Paulo, Harkim, and I traveled nearly 5 hours today into the city to find the medical journals and documents to aid Dr. Williams in Jyauacta's surgery to remove the leech.

I asked Paulo, and Harkim to join me for their medical and scientific knowledge, and Tsula for her translations. Between the four of us, we should be able to find the information we need.

It was two and a half hours on the road before we started seeing the smaller suburban areas around the city of Azroria. When we reached the half-hour mark, we could finally see the massive buildings within this city. The trip was approximately 5 hours on the solar switch for the buggie. The biodiesel fuel option, although allows the buggie to go faster, it's a resource we can't waste.

The way the city was laid out reminded me a lot of Earth, with exception of the building architecture. These buildings were beautiful, intricate, sustainable buildings. We learned from our initial conversations with the Nauertians their buildings were all self-sufficient. They had no need for a power grid, gas lines, water lines, sewer lines. Most of the homes and buildings even had gardens and fruit-bearing trees and bushes. Food and water could be accessed by anyone at any time.

The lack of movement was incredibly unsettling. It reminded me of my first expedition out of the shuttle with Moke. That undeniably uncomfortable feeling of being watched, monitored, stalked. You know full well you are prey in a complex environment. I could feel the tension in the buggie. Tsula seemed to be more confident than she had been on that last visit that landed her off duty. I couldn't say the same thing for Paulo and Harkim.

It was easy to tell we were about to enter the city based on the road transitioning into a freeway, and the quarter-mile tunnel up ahead. There were no lights inside the tunnel. It was pitch black inside. I heard Harkim take in a deep breath. I looked in the rearview and noticed Paulo's face go pale. I looked over at Tsula, she was squeezing tight onto the sides of her seat, and holding her breath.

"Everyone, breathe. We brought a few of Jyauacta's weapons. We were fine." I asked everyone to roll up their windows, and secure their doors. I flipped on the buggie lights to bright as we neared the entrance of the tunnel. I decided slowing down was probably a death sentence if anything was lurking in the tunnel.

The tunnel was lined with reflective green glass throughout the walls, much like the farmhouses we've already encountered. There was absolutely a light at the end of the tunnel, we were entering the city.

Something moved and cast a shadow at the exit of the tunnel ahead. It was large, hunched over on all fours. It moved past the tunnel. It was an animal, a large animal at that. I asked Tsula to grab the video recorder so we could get footage for Jane. As we exited the tunnel, we all looked to the left and saw what we can only describe as a bear-sized prairie dog with a long rat tail. That could be a Guinoth, we'll ask Jane when we get back. Tsula took some video of the creature. It didn't seem interested in us at all, thankfully.

Our first goal was to find a University or a Library. We drove to the city center looking for any signage. Tsula was able to notice a sign for the downtown library. We parked the vehicle in front of the large building. It was idyllic sparkling in the sunlight. It appeared to be at least 15 stories high from the outside. As excited as I was to explore the building, I was also terrified of what could be inside.

We walked up to the front doors anticipating having to break in, though the doors were fully unlocked. I could feel everyone's apprehension to enter. I went inside first, then Tsula, Harkim, then Paulo. We were to all stay together, generally splitting up and searching was the best strategy for time, it wasn't just time I was worried about. The inside of the library was even more stunning than the exterior. The floor looked like a walk through a stone riverbed, but with soft grey and green carpeting material throughout. The sides of the bookshelves were trees, actual trees, carved out to house the books, disks, and holographic cards. The walls looked like stone, with those beautiful green, blue and yellow circular windows. There were seats that were built into the floor, similar to the sunk-in living rooms of the 1900's houses of earth.

I asked Tsula to look over the directional hologram located by the front desk of the library while the rest of us kept our eyes peeled for movement. Tsula found the reference section, it was on the tenth floor.

I grabbed the paracord in my jacket pocket, I tethered the rope to each member of our party in the order we were traveling. Tsula was leading the way, Harkim, Paulo, then myself at the end to keep an eye on the back and protect Tsula at the front.

We followed Tsula up the grand staircase, covered in what looked like moss carpeting. I reached down to touch the staircase. It felt like a soft living carpet.

As we reached each floor, it felt almost like rising through the canopy of the forest. I was compelled to explore every inch of this place but now was not the time.

We finally reached the 10th floor. No movement, not a sound. Tsula directed us to the reference books. Harkim and Paulo reviewed the titles with Tsula to select what items were most necessary. I removed my paracord tether and began exploring this level to ensure it was clear. This floor was out of the canopy, and all the bookshelves were transparent. The room was a soft blue and had a soft white/grey patterned carpet. It was easy to clear this level with the transparency of the shelving, and the intense sunlight coming through the clear circular windows.

I took a few photographs of this level and decided I wanted to travel to the top floor to take photos of this amazing place. I let the crew know where I was headed. I pulled some chairs from around the level and blocked off the stairway to the lower floors. I wouldn't be long, but I wanted to secure my team the best I could.

I quietly ran up the stairs to the next level. The next three levels were similar to level 10 with the transparent shelving, slightly darker blue-colored walls as I ascended the levels. The 15th story was space. The shelving was intermixed horizontal and vertical. There was a large seating area in the center and an exceptional dome above with a projection of their solar system.

I took detailed photos of each floor and snagged a few books off the shelf for Jelly Bean in the kid's section. I went back down the stairs to level 10, to find the team still hard at work. They had a rather large stack of books. I tossed the books I grabbed for Jelly Bean in my pack. Looking around, I found some fauna and flora books for Jane and Ramesh, a reference book for building these Earthships for Liam, a poetry book for Tsula, a few various technology books for Paulo, a psychology book for Harkim, a cookbook for Moke, a history book for Inessa, and a cultural reference guide for Akeno. Once we completed collecting the medical books, we loaded our packs, moved the chairs from blocking the lower levels, and began heading down the stairs.

We all heard a loud screech outside, nothing like we had heard before. We moved cautiously down the stairs with our weapons drawn. I decided to lead the way this time since I cleared the upper levels.

When we reached the third floor, we looked out the bellied windows to look below at the exit. There was a hoard of NM-Z's surrounding the buggie. They were looking around the vehicle, scanning for us. We continued down the stairs, staying away from windows and doors, remaining as quiet as possible. We made it to the first floor. NM Zombies were surrounding the front of the building.

I lead the group to the back corner of the first floor near the stairs and headed to the front doors. I quietly locked the interior doors. I began grabbing any stairs, stools, tables I could, and barricaded the door.

I instructed the team back up the stairs to the third level where we had the best view of the hoard. There were about 30 of them. I opened my bag, grabbed a small live stream camera, and angled it below so we could keep track of their movement, without being seen.

It was time to come to terms that we weren't headed back tonight. We had a window of 15 minutes to leave to arrive back at the shuttle before dark, and there just wasn't a way that would happen tonight. 30 NM-Z's against the four of us wasn't going to work in our favor. "The plan is to wait them out, we'll keep an eye on the camera to make sure they don't enter the library and hope they lose interest and disperse. For now, we need to clear each floor and look for any additional entrances or exits. No one makes a sound. Keep all reflective or metallic gear hidden. We'll do this together, everyone will stay together."

We headed to the top floor and worked our way down back to the first. We found an exit door to the parking garage on the second floor which was locked. The full glass windows made us very vulnerable. We collected all the posters and furniture and barricaded the glass wall the best we could. We found several locked employee doors on each floor, as well as a singular bathroom on each level. We also found a few vending machines with various Nauertian snacks and beverages. We'll have to figure out how to access that if we run out of our supplies tonight.

After clearing all of the floors, we gathered at the top floor under the planetarium dome in the seating. Tsula sat down and something crumpled below her. She grabbed the item with her hand, it was what looked like a half-eaten bag of chips. This library is immaculate, what was a bag of half-eaten chips doing here?

We radioed the shuttle to let them know of our situation. I was relieved to know that everything was going well for them today. Inessa and Liam confirmed that they did get adequate rest for the upcoming night shift. It's getting closer to the 10th day, where the NM Zombies will be in full force. It's always better to be prepared. Liam was able to secure a few weak spots in the hull and has welded a decorative metal screen over the common room upper windows to ensure there is no access, but we can still have the same sunlight in the space. Sunlight is very important to our mental health. Dr. Williams reported that Jyauacta is still under, and we're not sure of her progress due to not having an insert for the cryo cell built for her body. Moke has been released from the cryo cell and is currently on medical hold in his quarters for three days.

I wanted to be there when Moke was brought out of the cryo cell. I've missed him. I realized that having Moke in that cryo cell in critical condition took a piece of me. We've been through injuries before, but this was by far the worst. I don't know what I would do without him. I don't know if I would even be able to carry on without him. It was at that moment that I remembered what Jyauacta had said. He loves me, he'd follow me to the end of the universe. I realized that I can't help but feel the same about him. It's so complicated, it took Jyauacta's words to reveal these feelings, but I have such complex feelings towards Jyauacta too. (Exclusive private journals of Penn Draugon on Patreon or the website at www.projectnm71.com).

I quietly shut the dual doors to the planetarium and locked them. We all settled into our space for the evening, I passed around meal packs and bottled water. The sun was beginning to set, and I sat monitoring the camera, watching the NMZ's wander about around the buggie. There were significantly fewer, maybe 15 now. We can only hope it dwindles to a manageable amount by morning.

I began reviewing my photographs of each level of the library. That's when I noticed... two eyes and an orb reflecting in the photo of the dark planetarium I took earlier. Someone else is in here.

Just a wee bio. A 60’ish year old unfit, ugly and ungainly ex-crossdresser. Blonde hair styled by my wife who also took the photo. I now feel that I am more of an admirer than a crossdresser. I am attracted to different CD’s as well as ladies of a certain age. I don’t really like fake breasts on trannies or females also piercings and large amounts of tattoos put me off. What ever floats your boat is fine, but they don’t attract me. Where in the world do I live? North east of London. What turns me on? What hobbies and interests do I have?

Now believe me or not I don’t care but behind my house and a few doors along in the road behind lives a porno queen. I often see her out shopping a local supermarkets. She ain’t no looker that’s for certain. One porno film I saw was made in her back garden (it wasn’t her being in the the film though). And good dog owner knows the sound of their dog and we have currently 6 - and we know that each dog has an individual bark. In that film I can clearly make out one of our dogs. Kim is her name and she’s made so many sites. Kim this and Kim that! Made a film at the Cross Keys pub toilets Horsey Cross on the A120 a few years ago. And lesbian photo shoots on Clacton seafront in the old days. Now anything is game!

If you’re serious about teaching abroad or online, you should sign up for the 120-hour training. Many teaching companies require a minimum of a 120-hour certification, so you might not be eligible for your dream job if you take a shorter class.

The 120-hour online course is self-paced and features in-depth modules. Online tutor support and feedback on your assignments are included as well.

When you complete the course, you’ll receive an accredited TEFL certificate, a letter of recommendation, and a lifetime of job search guidance.

You’ll have three months to complete your online course and six months to access the material.

Pros and Cons of MyTEFL

As with anything, there are both pros and cons to getting certified through MyTEFL.

MyTEFL Pros

One of the biggest benefits of the 120-hour online MyTEFL Course is that it doesn’t have a set schedule. This means that you can complete your TEFL course whenever it works for you.

Many people work on getting TEFL certified while still maintaining a traditional job. MyTEFL makes it easy to move towards certification even with a busy schedule.

MyTEFL has excellent student reviews across various teaching abroad platforms. Students often mention how this course is a great deal for the price and how the material was easy to follow.

Because you can access your course materials on many different devices, it’s possible to work on your course from a phone or tablet. This is great for teachers who are often on the move.

Across the board, MyTEFL is one of the most affordable TEFL courses around. You can get a fully accredited TEFL certification for just under $300, which is pretty hard to beat!

MyTEFL Cons

The biggest downside of MyTEFL is that if you choose to take an online course, you won’t receive any hands-on training. This means you might need to arrange your own hands-on experience independently, which can be challenging.

If you choose to do an in-person course, you’ll get some practical experience. But at this time, the MyTEFL online courses don’t have a practical teaching component.

There also isn’t a final project or assessment with this course.

While some might see this as a good thing, the ending of the course can feel abrupt. Adding a final project or exam could give students a chance to demonstrate their new knowledge.

There’s a lack of sample teaching videos throughout the course, and while there are some video elements within the modules, it would be nice to see videos of how full lessons look in a real classroom.

Finally, another downside is that the course resource library is only available for six months after completing the course.

Who Can Take This TEFL Course?

Anyone who is a fluent English speaker can take this TEFL course. It’s okay if you’re not a native speaker, but you should be proficient and comfortable communicating fluently in the English language.

Getting TEFL certified can lead to teaching opportunities, even if you don’t have a traditional background in education.

If you have a TEFL certification, there are places where you won’t need a degree or classroom experience to get a job teaching English.

Starting as soon as possible can help make your transition to life as an English teacher as seamless as possible.

Getting TEFL certified will give you more options as an ESL teacher. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of how to run your classroom effectively, how to create meaningful ESL lessons, and how to inspire confidence in your students.
