How the course works
Distance Learning
As part of the distance learning phase students are assigned an online tutor who will be there at all times to support and guide you throughout the course. Communication between students and online tutors is mainly via e-mail although telephone tutorials can also be arranged. Once the registration process is complete the students can download the course materials into their computers and start work.
One of the advantages of taking an online TEFL-TESOL Certificate course such as this is its flexibility: you can work at your own pace and have no deadlines for submitting your work.
As you advance through the course units you will be receiving valuable feedback from your online tutor. It is not necessary to be online to work on the course. When you are ready to send in your materials all you need to do is attach your work to an e-mail.
Teaching Practice
For your Teaching Practice you will be teaching real adult learners of General and Business English and also Young Learners. This makes our courses unique in the market. This experience will enable you to teach English effectively in a range of different learning contexts making you a very attractive candidate for a variety of teaching positions.
The two-week teaching practice block involves a minimum of six hours' observed teaching and lesson planning. There are guided purposeful observations of qualified and experienced tutors which amount to a minimum of eight hours, four of which should be live lessons and then others may be videoed lessons or lessons in which the trainees are foreign language learners.
This TEFL course is offered at the following locations in Spain:
Course Contents
Our Combined TEFL Course consists of a distance learning phase plus a residential teaching practice block leading to the Advanced Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL):
PHASE 1: DISTANCE LEARNING / ONLINE
PHASE 2: TEACHING PRACTICE
The distance learning phase offers the option of two extra modules:
- Teaching English for Business
- Teaching English to Young Learners
Successful candidates who have taken the two extra modules will receive an Endorsement on their certificates.
The course covers exactly the same topics as a 4-week intensive course and in the same depth. First you complete the online part of the course from home and learn about theories, methodology and applied practice of TEFL-TESOL. This will allow you to study at your own pace and in your own time. Then you spend a two-week teaching practice phase with us planning lessons and teaching real classes of students: these will be a range of adult, young and Business English classes.
Such practical and varied experience will make you a very strong candidate on the TEFL market.
The most obvious advantage of this type of course is its flexibility: You can complete the online / distance learning phase at your own pace and then decide when to take the teaching practice block. You may even decide to start the teaching practice block before you have finished the online phase, although we recommend you complete at least 60 per cent of it first. In any case, we will try to accommodate your needs and availability. It is generally expected that trainees inform the centre of their choice of dates for the teaching practice block four weeks prior to its commencement.
