Centres Offering TESOL

This TEFL course has not only put the requirements to teach any group of students into perspective, but directed it specifically toward teaching english to foreign students. Further, it has gone into all the basic grammar that one needs to keep in mind, and also how to teach that grammar. The problem for native speakers is that they are so used to the structure of the language that they don’t really pay attention to the details of the grammatical structures while speaking or writing. The course has given a sort of a revision of the grammatical aspects of the language in a more structured manner. This also happens to be the structure suited to teach non-english speakers. Thus, the grammatical aspects combined with techniques of teaching in general covers a wide spectrum within “learning how to teach english”. Teaching vocabulary, reading, and comprehension exercises have not been covered in detail, and require training or self-discovery (which is better in some cases). All in all, the nature of the course is not one with spoon feeding; it seems to have a healthy balance between course material and self-discovery. I intend not only to keep in mind what I have learnt when I get into teaching, but make sure I revise the material, as well as my worksheets a couple of times, and take down important things for me to keep in mind. There is a possibility that I will use the same lesson plan template depending on the nature of the job.
