We offer an intensive 4 week CertTESOL training course with an intern
ationally accepted TEFL certificate and British Council recognition. No previous teaching experience or second language is required to participate on a course and teach abroad.
The course is divided into 3 main areas:
I. Methodology Input
The Methodology inputs will present a variety of techniques for introducing and practicing new language; for encouraging accurate and fluent speech; raising students' interest and participation; setting language in realistic contexts; lesson planning, using course books and authentic material; developing listening, writing and reading skills; checking students' understanding and providing feedback; testing; and using games, songs, video, computers etc.
II. Language Awareness
The Language Analysis sessions are intended to develop an ability to analyze language from the point of view of what students need to know about it, i.e. techniques for clarifying meaning, usage and pronunciation. Topics covered include the tense system of English; the phonemic chart and the sounds of English; conditional sentences; modal verbs; expressing future meanings; stress and intonation; features of connected speech; and the correction of pronunciation errors.
III. Teaching Practice (TP)
Teaching techniques are practiced by the course participants in regular teaching practice sessions. Every candidate is required to complete a minimum of six hours observed teaching with classes of adult learners. In addition s/he will observe qualified teachers with live classes for a minimum of eight hours. After TP, our feedback session follows, either immediately or on the following day. In feedback the TP group and the tutor discuss the lessons, which took place during TP. At the end of each feedback session, written feedback from the tutor is given to each candidate who taught.
By the end of the course, trainees are fully prepared with the essentials of teaching English, along with a broad range of effective teaching techniques and classroom management skills. Additionally, we provide expert job guidance sessions as a group and one on one, to help you decide where to go and teach, prepare your resume/CV and find the job you're looking for.
