How to Teach English to Adults in Sweden

Teaching English in Sweden can be a very rewarding experience. Sweden is the fourth happiest country in the world according to a new report released by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) based in Paris. Enjoy all Sweden has to offer, from the visually stunning capital of Stockholm, to the mountain scenery of Lappland. Teaching Swedish adults to speak English is different than teaching young students, since their goals for learning the language are different. Adults usually want to learn English because they want to use it to enhance their careers and they are often more serious about learning it quickly.

      Look for Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) qualification courses close to where you live. Oversea employers see both qualifications as equivalent to each other, so it does not matter which one you get qualified for. You can also sign up for classes on line.

      Complete the courses in as little as a weekend, if you are taking them in person. Online courses take anywhere from six to eight weeks, and you have six months to complete the program.

      Look for teaching opportunities on websites such as the Folkuniversitetet, which is one of the main educational institutions in this country. Most courses for adults begin in September, parallel to when the school year begins in Sweden.
