The World TEFL School, TEFL 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.
Our courses are divided into six main key areas:
1. Teaching Techniques
 |
Games & Songs |
|
Evaluation and Testing |
|
Creating Materials |
|
Grammar Exam & Grade |

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.
