There are 6 Modules in the course, each divided into Sections.
We’ve kept the language in the course as plain and simple as possible – just as you should do when teaching EFL/ESOL. There are no gold stars for teachers who use fancy language when teaching EFL/ESOL. It’s all about communication via plain and simple language.
We have included lots of activities which you can carry out with your students, so you’ll be ready to roll from Day 1 in your new job. Also, we have included activities for you. These will come under the heading of Time to reflect.
There are a few times where we intentionally repeat some points because they are critical to your success. Remember: repetition is an excellent teaching technique.
We don’t want to make a big issue about assessment. What we want you to do is to focus well on the content, and the assessments will take care of themselves. However, it’s only right to tell you what will happen.
At the end of each Module, there will be a Quiz. Each quiz consists of 15 questions, covering the relevant Module, in a mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions.
Please kindly note that we’ll not be trying to catch you out. All answers are in the text. We want all of you to pass!
“TEFL” is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or simply, English language instruction for non-native speakers. Also known as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English Language Teaching (ELT), and teaching ESL (English as a Second Language).
TEFL/TESOL certification is the key to teach English as a foreign language. Being TEFL certified opens doors to English teaching jobs worldwide and online, creating opportunities for travel, cultural immersion, career advancement, and even high salaries, in some cases.
You can easily earn a TEFL certification with an online TEFL course which is a very convenient and flexible way of getting qualified to teach English. You can start your course any time you wish, study anywhere in the world and, perhaps best of all, you can learn at your own schedule and speed.
