Course Description

The overall aim of this course is to provide a thorough TEFL / TESOL training, which includes a balance between the theory and methodology of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and to thoroughly prepare you for teaching in any overseas environment.

During this course you will acquire both the necessary skills and knowledge to become an effective and dynamic ESL teacher. There are three important areas of focus to achieve this goal:
- An excellent grasp of important grammar rules
- A good base of different teaching techniques
- A solid database of proven activities for use in the classroom for both adult and young learners

You will receive instruction and practice in teaching the four basic language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) and subskills (vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar). You will complete a minimum of six hours of observed practical teaching with real foreign language students. You will also observe classes taught by experienced ESL teachers.

Course Requirements:
-Full attendance
