TEFL International offers a world-renowned TEFL/TESOL certification course that equips you for the professional task of teaching English overseas, or in your home country.
Our TEFL certification courses last for four weeks in a variety of exciting sites around the world, and have a very practical emphasis. There is no need to speak any language other than English, as our courses concentrate on training you to teach English with the international standard communicative approach - where English is the only language used in the classroom.
TEFL International's TEFL certification courses are certainly demanding; however, we do everything within our power to encourage TEFL students to pass the course and to promptly acquire a teaching job abroad.
This is the most practical and fundamental area of any TEFL. Course trainees teach real students of English and put into practice the skills learnt during the course.
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.
a) This area focuses on grammar and covers word classes, simple sentence elements, complex sentences and clauses, verb time and tense, aspect and conditionals and modals, 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.
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.
This component of the course covers areas such as:
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, audio or video tape, and cue cards or class handouts, 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.
All applications from candidates aged 18 (younger ages may be considered in exceptional circumstances) and above will be considered for our English teaching courses. TEFL International's TEFL courses are split into six main areas. TEFL courses are intensive, four-week programs. However, all trainees have sufficient time to explore the local area, experience the culture and meet new people.
Course organizers will also arrange leisure activities for our TEFL students to socialize in their spare time, helping them make the most of their experience.
