Typical TEFL Course
Summary
The World TEFL School courses are delivered
by our approved partner schools who are all considered to be front-runners
in the field of TEFL/TESOL course development. Each school provides
exceptional standard of training and a comprehensive range of student
support services.
Please note that
the course syllabus, class hours and course assessment may vary
depending on the course and location. Generally the courses consist
of 4 weeks, 100+ hours of Classroom Time and at least 6 hours Teaching
Practice.

2. Foreign Language
Experience
Trainees receive training in an unknown
foreign language to reflect on the experience of being a learner,
and how this might direct their own teaching. The language is usually
the local language at the course location.
3. Teaching Practice
The most fundamental area of any TEFL/TESOL
course and the main reason why online TEFL programs do not measure
up is that of the practical teaching component.
Course trainees teach real students of
English and put into practice the skills learnt on the course. Trainees
conduct observed teaching practices covering elementary to advanced
level students as well as One-to-one tutoring. Course trainers will
guide you through the process of planning, preparation, delivery
and reflection, and will provide you with constructive feedback
on your performance.
4. Language Awareness
a) Grammar. Covers word classes, simple
sentence elements, complex sentences and clauses, verb time and
tense, aspect and conditionals and modals, phrasal's and voice.
b) Phonology. Covers phonemics, word
stress and intonation, sentence stress and intonation, rhythm and
intonation, and connected speech.
5. Student Profile
Trainee’s work with individual students
on rapport building, error analysis and correction and addressing
individual student needs. Three meetings with the student are required
including transcription and error analysis of audio and written
samples, culminating in a 45-minute session observed by a trainer.
6. Materials Project
All trainees must develop two sets of
materials used during the teaching practice. Each set must be durable,
capable of being used for more than one lesson context and easily
portable. The materials may include visuals, audio or video, tape,
cue cards and class handouts, but may not be photocopied from published
sources. Trainees are required to adapt from commercial sources,
or develop original materials. The summation of this project is
a presentation to the trainers on how the materials were used, how
they could be improved and how they might be used in another context.

Course Trainers
All World TEFL School approved teacher
trainers are selected based upon their qualifications, level and
range of experience, their demonstrated expertise as TEFL trainers
and managers, their communication skills and ability to support
trainees.
As fully trained professionals, with
many years experience of ELT classroom teaching, our trainers are
both authoritative and informed. The training procedure for our
trainers is extremely rigourous. Not only are the trainers expected
to have post-Diploma teaching experience, they are also required
to have other, related industry experience.
Our trainers also have an excellent idea
of what to expect from the job market globally and thus provide
an invaluable resource for understanding where you are headed once
your course is complete. Be sure to take advantage of their experience.
You will also observe the trainers teaching actual students of English
during the course, another invaluable program component, which will
better prepare you for your own classroom experience.
