This course is compatible with all other TEFL courses. Although it is really a "pre-course course" designed to give you the very best grounding in English language and grammar before continuing with your chosen TEFL course, it is useful for all English teachers who need to focus on grammar and all aspects of the language from a TEFL teacher's viewpoint.
You may have delved into aspects of English grammar on your TEFL course, but with so little spare time to get your head around verbs, tenses, functions and everything else that it encompasses, you may well feel like you still have a lot to learn before you take up a teaching post.
Cactus TEFL's English Language Course is the perfect option for anyone who considers this to be the case.

Why do the course? Five Reasons...
Knowledge There are certain countries where much of the EFL teaching is based around conversation lessons, but the vast majority of TEFL jobs will involve just as much emphasis on grammar as on conversation. Having a good working knowledge of the ins and outs of English grammar will help enormously when it comes to lesson planning - having to swot up on whichever grammar point you need to teach before you plan the lesson will add hours to your preparation!
Confidence Doing the ELA course should mean that you have the confidence to deal with those tricky grammar questions which students (particularly in high level classes) might have in store for you. You can avoid those embarrassing silences when eager students quiz you on the differences between the past simple and the present perfect, for example!
Employability Completing the ELA course in addition to your TEFL course will look great on your CV by showing that you are both keen and knowledgeable.
Value for Money At a mere £75, ELA is great value for money. Using the promotional code given to you by your training centre will give you a further 5% off too!
