TEFL Opportunities in Brazil (2)

Date posted:2014-04-21 | Writer: Schütz & Kanomata | Email: [email protected]

Schütz & Kanomata, (S & K), ESL is a language institute, a center of trade with the outside world and a center for multicultural living located in Santa Cruz do Sul, aimed at teaching English and Portuguese through a natural approach. Our school is located in a mid-size town in the south of Brazil with a 2-semester program designed for native level speakers of English that want to exchange ESL teaching for the opportunity of living in Brazil and learning its language and culture. We provide comfortable accommodations and payment in line with the cost of living. Our Brazilian Language & Culture program includes occasional weekend tours, Portuguese instruction, and a safe and pleasant environment. 


The emphasis in our school is on communicative work, using learner-centered, motivational, participatory classroom activities. 

Please contact us directly at the email address given on the job heading for full details about our program.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

The role of the teacher (moderator, assessor, etc) should be varied according to the needs of the students and the planned outcomes of the lesson. Teachers also have to take into consideration the \"genetic make-up\" of the class (for example, age group, background, native schooling culture, etc) when planning lessons to ensure sensitivity and effectiveness in building rapport with the students.In this unit module I learned the various methods in testing and evaluating students' language level. This included different types of tests and what they are meant to accomplish, in regards to the information the teacher can extract from them (placement vs progress vs specific practice). The unit also included a explanation for a number of external tests that the students may wish to study for.
