Kielikurssin kuvaus

The TEFL/TESOL Certification course certifies native English speakers or people with an Advanced level of English (C2) to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) anywhere in the world. Our TEFL/TESOL Certification program is a practical and thorough introduction to Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). It is designed for those who have no previous teaching experience, but is also valuable for more experienced teachers who desire an internationally recognized teaching method and certification.

During the 4-week, 150-hour course, you become familiar with the principles of successful ESL teaching and develop the practical skills needed to teach English effectively in foreign countries. This includes components of grammar, lesson planning, class management, assessment techniques, and more. The training program includes 7-8 hours/day of classroom instruction and in-class presentations, 20-30 hours of required reading and focused written assignments, and 15+ hours of observation and practical teaching.

You deliver lessons both to your peer group in the TEFL/TESOL class and to non-English speaking classes and individuals. TEFL instructors supervise and evaluate teaching practice. Feedback is provided continuously to help participants increase their self-awareness and improve their teaching techniques.
