Course Syllabus
Please note that the course syllabus may vary slightly in each location and this page acts only as a general guide.
Our TEFL/TESOL Courses are Divided Into Six Main Key Areas:
1. Teaching Techniques
2. Foreign Language Tuition
You will receive some foreign language training to let you experience what it's like being a language student, and how this might direct your own teaching. This will also equip you with enough local language skills to get by.
3. Teaching Practice
The most fundamental area of any TEFL course.
You will teach real students of English and put into practice the skills learnt on the course. You will conduct up to 6 hours of teaching practice covering elementary to advanced level students as well as one-to-one tutoring. You will also observe around 2-3 hours studying other teachers in action. Course trainers will guide you through the process of planning, preparation, delivery and reflection, and will provide you with constructive feedback on your performance.
4. Language Awareness
Even native speakers of English will surely have forgotten the grammar they learned at school. You will learn how to answer any questions or situations that may arise in a class.
a) Grammar: Covers word classes, simple sentence elements, complex sentences and clauses, verb time and tense, aspect and conditionals and modals, phrasal’s and voice.
b) Phonology: Covers phonemics, word stress and intonation, sentence stress and intonation, rhythm and intonation, and connected speech.
5. 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 including transcription and error analysis of audio and written samples, culminating in a 20-minute session observed by a trainer.
6. Examination/Presentation
Trainees sit a written examination and make a presentation of a prepared class. Many other courses will limit your observed classes due to the large number of trainees they take on. Having so many trainees and so few students it is physically impossible for all their trainees to receive 6 hours. With a maximum of 12 trainees in our courses, you will have plenty of time to prepare for the practicalities of the classroom and allow you to overcome those first-time 'nerves' in a controlled environment with the professional support of your tutor.
Your TEFL Trainers
All WTA Approved TEFL trainers are highly qualified and very experienced in teacher training and language training. As fully trained professionals with many years experience of EFL classroom teaching, our trainers are both authoritative and informed. The training procedure for our trainers is extremely rigorous. Not only are the trainers expected to have post-Diploma teaching experience, they are also required to have related industry experience in more than one country.
Course Assessment
Students must achieve an overall pass rate of 70%.
