Course Description
The Trinity Certificate TESOL course is for people who want an internationally recognised qualification and an intensive up-to-date and practical course of teacher training.
Trainees are divided into teaching practice groups on the first day and begin their teaching practice on the second. Each group is assigned a practice class of real Spanish students and a teaching practice tutor. Teaching practice includes a feedback session where the teaching practice tutor discusses the lesson with you and gives you guidance on the teaching point for the following day. Halfway through the course the practice class is changed to provide trainees with an opportunity to teach classes whose English is at a different level.
During these sessions you will acquire and practise a wide range of teaching skills found in mainstream current English.
These sessions cover areas of grammar and phonology and are designed to provide trainees with a basic working knowledge of these subjects and how to teach them effectively.
When you enrol for a course (following a successful face-to-face or telephone interview), you will be sent a username and password granting you access to a substantial pre-course task, designed to raise your awareness of English grammar and phonology. Depending on your prior knowledge, this can take anything up to 20 hours to complete.
During the course 3 assignments are given. These include a record of your experience learning the unknown language, a case study of one of your students with a diagnosis of their language difficulties and a project where you create original material to be used with your learners.

Prague
Prague is for many a place of weekend escapes, magnificent medieval architecture, traditional folklore and remarkably cheap beer. With it's stunning location straddling the Vltava River and set in rolling Bohemian countryside, the city is beauty, mysticism and romance all rolled into one. As capital of the Czech Republic it is also oozing with history and brimming with future promise, as communist rule becomes slowly forgotten and young Czechs go about their increasingly bustling city life. You can still get lost in a maze of courtyards and cobbled alleys, and you can still explore an endless number of churches and cathedrals, but behind those old stone walls you'll also hear the clink of glasses, laughter over a post-work drink, and haunting melodies floating from some front-room piano. Reason enough to spend more than a weekend here, and find out what it's really all about.
