One-Day TEFL Taster Course
Where can I learn to teach English? What is a CELTA qualification? What is a Trinity TESOL? Do I need a teaching certificate to teach abroad? Which qualification will enable me to teach English in the UK?
For answers to these questions and more, why not sign up for one of our One-Day TEFL Taster courses? Over the course of this introduction to TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) you will learn:
- How an EFL teacher breaks the mould of the state system experience by encouraging the learners to take centre stage
- Some golden do's and don'ts concerning classroom management and classroom relationships
- Some basic language terminology and key approaches to teaching reading, writing, speaking, listening and grammar
- Popular and effective games and activities for teaching language
- The importance of preparation and lesson planning
Micro Teaching
You will have the chance to plan and to teach something of interest to you to your peers and put into practice some of the skills that you have learnt over the course of the day. At the end of the day you will receive a British Study Centres certificate attesting to your attendance and participation on the course.
The Next Step
The day features a Q&A session during which you will receive advice on EFL training and subsequent career paths. If you enjoy the day and decide to pursue a career in TEFL, your £30 enrolment fee is redeemable against a full four-week intensive CELTA course (Oxford) or Trinity CertTESOL course (Brighton).
