TEFL programs in Thailand are directed to get English teaching jobs mainly, world wide. English teaching jobs in Thailand are confined to the three types of teaching schools prevalent in Thailand :
Thai Schools: Spread all over Thailand, these schools have few or no English teachers and hence there is a lot of freedom for TESOL teachers to opt for what they aspire to teach. The focal point is more on general uses of English which is a beneficial factor of getting a TEFL qualification.
Commercial Schools: Numerous chains of Commercial Schools, such as ECC Thailand, ELS International, and CBC are located in big cities such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Other places that hire TESOL certified foreign teachers to teach in Thailand are The International School and Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. These schools are more valued places to teach English and may require part-time English teachers for weekends. All the upcoming ESL teachers with a TEFL or Teaching English as a Foreign Language certificate can expect these schools to pay fairly well. Chulalongkorn has an evening extension program for business English. Classes are held in the evenings to accommodate work schedules of students who are mostly adults with specific job-based need for English in the fields of construction, banking, food services etc. However there isn't remarkable liberty on what to teaching matter.
Private Tutoring: The 120-hours TEFL program in Thailand can give one the advantage of private tuition or freelance teaching option which in Thailand pays the most. The private tutors having TEFL qualification or certification generally visit the students at their home during evenings to assist them develop certain skills or strengthen certain weaknesses. Single students are often joined in by their family members to learn.
