| Course summary | Our course follows an immersion method where trainees develop their teaching skills and knowledge of grammar through a combination of morning input sessions and evening practical teaching.
During input sessions students are engaged in the class by frequently breaking into small groups to create teaching materials and practice teaching techniques.
During teaching practice, trainee teachers put into practice the skills and methodology learned during the input sessions.
All teaching practices are fully observed by our trainers. Feedback is given and suggestions are made regarding the areas of teaching that could be improved.
The emphasis is on continual assessment and participants are expected to address the issues raised from previous feedback in their future lessons.
Guaranteed paid job placement in Mexico and direct employment contacts worldwide will be provided, upon successful academic completion of the TEFL Certificate Course. |
