Cactus Online TEFL Courses

Welcome to CactusTEFL Online!

If you have signed up for the complete Cactus Online TEFL Course, please start with the English Language Awareness (ELA) Course.

The English Language Awareness (ELA) Course is designed to improve your knowledge of the English language and how it is constructed from a teacher's viewpoint. It is also excellent preparation for a formal TEFL course, such as the Trinity CertTESOL or the Cambridge CELTA.

The English Language Awareness (ELA) Course is also the first part of the Cactus Online TEFL Course.

The English Language Methodology (ELM) Course is designed as a thorough introduction to how to teach English. It is also the second part of the Cactus Online TEFL Course.

We would like to thank the students of the Regent School, Brighton, for their co-operation during the filming of the classroom videoclips.

We hope you enjoy your course!

Jenny Johnson

Head of Cactus TEFL
