TEFL International Course:
TITC, in conjunction with TEFL International, provides internationally recognized TESOL/TEFL certifi
cate courses in a wide variety of exotic and interesting locations. Our 4-week, intensive courses meet all international standards and are externally validated and moderated TESOL / TEFL Courses by the BOAA (Board of Academic Advisors). You can be guaranteed of top standards and quality wherever and whenever you take our course.
You may sign up for any of our TEFL International 4-week residential courses, which are now available in 17 international locations worldwide and receive an additional certificate course free of charge. You have the choice of the following free courses: (a) Introduction to TEFL. (b) Teaching Business English. (c) Teaching English to Young Learners.
TITC courses have a very practical emphasis and deal primarily with the real skills and knowledge needed by teachers in the classroom. Whilst the course timetable may vary slightly from location to location, the content will always remain the same.
The TEFL course is divided into six main areas:
1. Language Awareness:
a) Grammar. Covers word classes, simple sentence elements, complex sentences and clauses, verb time and tense, aspect and conditionals and modals, phrasals and voice.
b) Phonology. Covers phonemics, word stress and intonation, sentence stress and intonation, rhythm and intonation, and connected speech.
2. Foreign Language Experience:
The trainees receive training in an unknown foreign language to reflect on the experience of being a learner, and how this might direct their own teaching.
3. Teaching Techniques:
This component of the course covers areas such as:
- Creating materials
- Correction techniques
- Lesson planning
- Classroom management
- Establishing rapport
- Discipline in the classroom
- Managing equipment and teaching aids
- Teaching vocabulary
- Teaching grammar
- Teaching receptive skills (reading and listening)
- Teaching productive skills (speaking and writing)
- Games in the classroom
- Songs in the classroom
- Teaching beginner students
- Teaching individual students
- Teaching business English
- Teaching young learners
- Evaluation and testing
4. Materials Project:
All trainees must develop two sets of materials used during the teaching practice. Each set must be durable, capable of being used for more than one lesson context and easily portable. The materials may include visuals, realia, audio or video tape, cue cards and class handouts, but may not be photocopied from published sources. Trainees are required to adapt from commercial sources, or develop original materials. The summation of this project is a presentation to the trainers on how the materials were used, how they could be improved and how they might be used in another context.
5. Teaching Practice:
The most practical and fundamental area of any TEFL/TESOL course. Course trainees teach real students of English and put into practice the skills learnt on the course.
6. Student Profile:
Trainees work with individual students on rapport-building, error analysis and correction and addressing individual student needs. Three meetings with the student are required including transcription and error analysis of audio and written samples, culminating in a 60-minute session observed by a trainer.
Further Educational Courses:
Our combined course unites our online and residential course. The course allows you to study the theoretical principles and theories of teaching and language awareness at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home/office and also gives you the time to absorb the theories of EFL teaching.
Once the online component has been completed, it is then complimented with attendance for a short period at one of our training centers to gain practical classroom teaching experience, with observation of your lessons by an experienced teacher trainer. Attendance at one of our training centers gives you the opportunity to put the theory you have learned in the online course into practice.
