Teaching Certification Maine

  ESL teaching has many specialized branches that require unique skills and knowledge in order to deliver successful lessons for students. To provide access to these specific and potentially lucrative areas of language teaching we introduced our range of specialized courses that follow directly on from our standard 120-hour TESOL course. Initially we developed courses in teaching English to young learners and teaching business English as these have always been the two most popular and widespread specialized options among the leading teaching markets. As well as expanding your existing skills and knowledge, these courses add extra depth to any job application. In response to huge worldwide demand, the most recent addition to our specialized course range is in the area of online...  [Read more]

At International TEFL and TESOL training (ITTT), we have over the course of many years introduced new standards of training and new material to the TEFL/TESOL industry. For example, many teachers say they are unable to attend a training centre to obtain Observed Teaching Practice (OTP). We have reacted to this problem by creating a new course that removes the travel aspect of obtaining OTP certification. The course comes with either 6-hours of OTP (30-hour certificate) or 12-hours of OTP (50-hour certificate), and covers three main areas in a logical sequence starting with lesson planning, lesson feedback and lesson evaluation. The second and third phases involve both the teaching practice itself and an interview style summary over Skype. Both courses may be used with a previous grammar...  [Read more]

TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Other acronyms are often used within the English teaching world, such as TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language), and ELT (English Language Teaching). However, in terms of teaching English abroad, they are often used interchangeably. Many of the most popular countries for teaching English abroad require teachers to hold a TESOL certification in order to obtain a work visa or work permit. The recognized worldwide standard qualification for teaching English to non-native speakers is known as either a TEFL or TESOL certificate. Providing you are willing to learn and are over the age of 18 years, you are eligible to take one of our courses. All our introductory level courses...  [Read more]

If Italy’s combination of superb food and wine, and la dolce vita - the sweet life – doesn’t grab you, then nothing will. Italy proudly boasts fabulous art and opera, a magnificent array of ancient monuments, and history stretching back thousands of years. Whether you head for fashionable Milan, or ancient Rome in this relatively small country you’re never too far away from great beaches, verdant rolling hills or alpine skiing. Who could ask for more? The language primarily in use is Italian, however, it may be useful to note that Italians can understand Spanish. Outside the main tourist areas English is not widely spoken, and indeed the Italian education system is a little deficient on this front. This deficiency in the high-school education provision is one of the reasons that...  [Read more]
