There is evident lineage between the concepts of teaching English
as a foreign language (TEFL) and tourism, represented through
evocative marketing material, the commoditisation of the TEFL
product, teacher motivations and experiences. Yet, to date there
has been no recognition of these links within industry or academia.
This book introduces the concept of 'TEFL tourism', outlining the
scale of the sector and the rapid commercialization of TEFL
teaching across the world, locating it as an emerging form of niche
tourism. The text outlines the organisation types and geographical
locations, emphasizing the commodification of English language
teaching. It also outlines the types of TEFL tourists, the
complexities of international education, links with various tourism
forms and sustainability considerations of the industry. Key
features include: - The first book of its kind - Case studies
throughout add context to the theoretical presentation of the
industry - Presents relevant industry statistics - Addresses
sustainability and stakeholders. The book will appeal to tourism
academics and students, in particular those with interests in
educational and volunteer tourism as well as sustainable tourism
and commodification.
