Course Aims

The overall aim of this intensive TEFL-TESOL certificate course is to provide a good introduction to current methodology and trends in language teaching. The course can also be conceived as a refresher course to those practicing teachers who would like to appraise their practice in light of newer methods, approaches and attitudes in language teaching.

A subsidiary aim of this course is for teachers to network with other professionals, exchange ideas and build up their repertoire of resources and teaching techniques.

The course is divided into twelve practical workshops followed by a homework assignment. Although the language of instruction is meant to be English and some of the input pertains to the field of English Language Teaching, teachers of other languages can also benefit from taking part as the onus is on methodological principles that can be applied to the teaching of language in general.

In compliance with the course pre-requisites and  learning outcomes as defined by The College of Teachers, the following are some of the more specific objectives of this TESOL-TEFL course:

• The COES TESOL is available to those speakers whose first or second language is English and is suitable for those who want to teach in the country of their choice.

• The COES TESOL gives candidates the basic skills and knowledge with a strong foundation in TESOL.

• The COES TESOL makes candidates aware of the importance of further professional development throughout their career.

• The COES TESOL reflects current approaches to TESOL-TEFL.

• The COES TESOL encourages candidates to experience what it is like to be a language learner.

• The COES TESOL encourages candidates to develop self-evaluation techniques and record progress throughout their course.
