'Twenty years of teaching experience can become no more than two years' experience repeated ten times over' - Jim Scrivener in Learning Teaching.
Language teachers, be it starting or more experienced teachers, need to keep abreast of current methodology and trends in language teaching.
This intensive weekend Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) course aims to act as an initiation to those new to the teaching profession or as a refresher to more experienced teachers.
Course Qualifications
This course leads to the Preliminary Certificate in TESOL
How the course works
This TEFL-TESOL Certificate Course consists of two phases:
Phase 1 - Workshop-based:
This takes places over the course of a weekend in our centre in Tarragona, Spain. Input is delivered in a series of practical workshops where the onus is on interaction and active candidate participation.
Phase 2- Homework assignment:
Course participants are given two weeks' to complete a 3000-word essay based on the topics covered on the course.
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.
The following are some of the more specific objectives of this TESOL-TEFL course:
-
The Preliminary TESOL Certificate 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 Preliminary TESOL Certificate gives candidates the basic skills and knowledge with a strong foundation in TESOL.
-
The Preliminary TESOL Certificate makes candidates aware of the importance of further professional development throughout their career.
-

-
The Preliminary TESOL Certificate encourages candidates to experience what it is like to be a language learner.
