Course details

There are two parts to the Cactus TEFL Online Course:

Part 1: English Language Awareness

This first part of the course introduces you to how language works. In 30 units, you'll learn about the key items of grammar, the main aspects of vocabulary and you'll also study the basics of pronunciation. As well as completing 'lessons' with explanations and exercises, you also watch video clips from a real classrooms to see the theory in action. Throughout, you can use the online forum to ask a tutor questions and to network with other trainee teachers.

Part 2: English Language Methodology

When you have completed part 1 of the course, you're ready to start the second part of the course which looks at English Language Methodology. As with English Language Awareness in Part 1, you complete 30 lessons in total. Each lesson focuses on a particular area of TEFL and is taught through a combination of reading, exercises, videos of teachers and students in the classroom and online discussion with a tutor and other people on the course. The English Language Methodology component of this course takes longer than part 1 because you also submit five assignments which receive feedback from a tutor.
