Basic Tefl Course

What is TEFL level 7? When choosing the right TEFL course to suit your future plans, it is important to understand the different levels of study involved so you are able to pick the right option that provides the qualifications you really need. While a level 3 course can be completed quite quickly and at a very affordable price, it might not give you the level of qualification that employers are looking for in your chosen destination. Equally, if you plan to volunteer as a teacher or work as a teaching assistant, a level 8 Master’s degree in TEFL will involve a bit more time, effort, and money than you really need to be investing. Check out our course levels page for more details. What is a level 7 TEFL qualification? At ITTT we have a course-level framework that has been designed to...  [Read more]

What is the difference between TEFL, TESOL and CELTA? The world of English language teaching is well known for its love of acronyms and unfortunately this can lead to a large amount of confusion amongst potential teachers, as well as those with plenty of experience in the field. Websites for course providers, job boards, recruitment programs, and any other teaching related information you might look at are likely to be littered with acronyms, including TEFL, TESOL, and CELTA. So what is the difference between these terms? What does TEFL mean? Short for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, TEFL is probably the most common acronym you will come across when conducting research for teaching English abroad. TEFL does not refer to a single training program, certification, or program...  [Read more]

Productive and Receptive Skills in the ESL Classroom - Speaking Activities   So speaking activities will come in many different forms but we can generalize them into three basic types. Control activities tend to be used in the study phase and here, the teacher will be helping the students in terms of what they need to say and how they go about saying it. So, there's a high level of structure within a controlled activity. A guided activity has slightly less structure than this and it can be used in either the study or the activate stages themselves. The final type of activity or class of activity is called creative activity and this one would be used in the activation phase. In a creative activity, we're giving a scenario or a very small amount of structure and we're asking the...  [Read more]

How to stay safe while teaching English abroad? While embarking on a journey to teach English overseas, it is normal to have some apprehension, particularly since you are stepping into a novel environment and likely won't know anyone upon arrival.

However, the majority of people, including the many solo female teachers who move abroad annually, encounter no significant issues. By practicing a few basic safety measures (most of which you may already be doing), you can ward off unwanted incidents and savor this extraordinary chapter of your life. But how can you ensure your safety while teaching English abroad? Choose a safe destination Arguably the most crucial decision you will make involves...  [Read more]

Can I get a M.A. in TEFL? Even entry-level teaching jobs usually require applicants to have completed a standard TEFL certification course of around 120 hours. Teachers who want to take another step up the employment ladder often choose to take a higher level qualification such as a Diploma in TESOL. However, if you are seriously interested in reaching the very top of the TEFL job market, completing a master’s degree will certainly be a big help. Does ITTT offer a Master's Degree? ITTT does not oversee its own master’s degree course, but we do have a popular option that we can recommend.

Wed, 12 Aug 2020 Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences TEFL Certification and Its Benefits for an Alumna’s Career The best thing I've learned from this course begins with the EFL teacher as an instrument of facilitation. The creative spark that ignites a flame in every student that is trying to master a new language. A teacher doesn't need to be perfect but must be fully present and prepared with a positive, supportive vibe. The successful teacher is a role model, a subject matter expert, and a skilled conductor of English language learning and immersion. Course books aside, from the very first lesson, a teacher identifies the level of learners and builds rapport with students through engaging activities that aim to reveal the students' needs and interests. These interests can then...  [Read more]
