Course Description

The course has been designed to offer the best possible practical and theoretical training and you will learn how to manage and support English language learners of all levels. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded the Trinity CertTESOL qualification, which is recognised throughout the world and accepted by the British Council in their accredited language teaching organisations. The qualification has no expiry date and you cannot become unqualified by taking a few years out of the industry.

The Trinity CertTESOL course places a lot of importance on teaching practice and as far as we know, no other course offers as many hours spent teaching real learners in a classroom environment. The course also gives you the opportunity to experience what it is like to learn a language from scratch, placing you in the position of a student trying to learn English for the first time.

Assessment
The course consists of 5 main units: Teaching Skills, Language Awareness, Learner Profile, Materials Assignment and The Unknown Language. Trainees will complete at least 6 hours of observed and assessed teaching practice with genuine learners of English, which Athena will provide you with and produce a number of reflective written assignments.

Who is it suitable for?
It is suitable for all individuals, of all professions who are attracted to the English Language teaching profession, either as a long-term career or for a shorter period to help them travel the world and experience life in different cultures.
No previous teaching experience is required in order to gain entry on the course, however trainees must be at least 18-year of age with a high level of spoken and written English and evidence of qualifications for entry to higher education are needed. The most important prerequisite for the course is a willingness to learn and a sense of enthusiasm!

Courses include:
Unknown Foreign Language
Language Awareness
Guided Observation
Pronunciation
Vocabulary
Learner Profile
Teaching Practice and Guidance
