TESOL / TEFL Courses in Egypt

International TEFL and TESOL Training, Alexandria:
International TEFL and TESOL Training (ITTT) is a professional ESL teacher training organization dedicated to raising standards of teaching and professionalism in English language teaching. In conjunction with TEFL International, we offer an internationally-recognised and accredited four-week TEFL certificate course in a range of locations worldwide, including in Alexandria on the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt. ITTT also provides online TEFL courses.

4-week TEFL Certificate Course:
Our intensive TEFL training courses run over four weeks and include 120+ hours of instruction, covering input on grammar awareness, teaching skills and classroom management.

Also included in the schedule is a very useful 6hrs of trainer-observed and constructively critiqued teaching practice. Here you gain real time classroom experience, with genuine students of the English language, all under the watchful eye of our teacher trainers.

Upon completion of our TEFL training, you will receive an internationally recognized TEFL certificate, authorizing you to teach English as a foreign language anywhere in the world. 

Special Offer:
Sign up for any one of our TEFL International 4-week residential courses and receive an additional certificate course free of charge. You may choose from the following free courses: (a) Introduction to TEFL. (b) Teaching Business English. (c) Teaching English to Young Learners. 

The course is divided into six main areas:

1. Teaching Practice
This is the most practical and fundamental area of any TEFL/TESOL course, as well as the main reason that online and distance learning programs do not suffice. Course trainees teach real students of English and put into practice the skills learnt during the course.

2. Language Awareness
a) This area focuses on grammar and covers word classes, simple sentence elements, complex sentences and clauses, aspect and conditionals and modals, verb time and tense, phrases and voice.

b) This area concentrates on phonology and covers phonemics, word stress and intonation, sentence stress and intonation, rhythm and intonation, and connected speech.

3. 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; these will include a transcription and error analysis of audio and written samples, culminating in a 60-minute session observed by a trainer.

4. Foreign Language Experience
The trainees receive instruction in an unknown foreign language to reflect on the experience of being a learner, as well as to help direct their own teaching.

5. Teaching Techniques
This component of the course covers areas such as:

* Lesson planning
* Classroom management
* Discipline in the classroom
* Establishing rapport
* Managing equipment and teaching aids
* Creating materials
* Correction techniques
* Evaluation and testing 
* Teaching grammar
* Teaching vocabulary
* Teaching productive skills (speaking and writing)
* Teaching receptive skills (reading and listening)
* Games in the classroom
* Songs in the classroom
* Teaching business English
* Teaching young learners
* Teaching beginner students
* Teaching individual students

6. Materials Project
All trainees must develop two sets of materials used during the teaching practice. These materials will be useful for future teaching practices and will help you begin creating your own materials file when English teaching. The materials should be easily portable, durable and be able to be used in more than one context (eg. vocabulary + grammar).

The materials may include visuals, video or audio tape, and class handouts or cue cards, but may not be photocopied from published sources. Trainees are required to adapt materials from commercial sources, or develop their own original materials. You will present these materials to a course trainer and demonstrate how they were used, suggest how they can be improved and how they could be used in another context.
