Tesol Certificate Teaching Practice

The value of observed teaching practice The prospect of observed teaching practice was one of the main reasons that I chose to take my TESOL course with The International TEFL Corporation. The offer of real life teaching experience coupled with immediate feedback from a qualified professional formed a large slice of influence for my decision. I have had a little exposure to training within a structured course environment but found the idea of creating and teaching my own lessons a little unnerving. Within my previous experience there was no feedback or reprimand if my level of performance wasn’t up to scratch. I was teaching fresh University Graduates the workings of Microsoft Office and Outlook within our fixed office operation. I feel one of the key values of observed teaching is that...  [Read more]

Let's begin by deciphering the acronym TESOL. TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. It pertains to scenarios where individuals who are not native English speakers are undergoing English language instruction. Strictly speaking, TESOL is used to describe situations where English is taught in an English speaking country. However, in most contexts, it is widely employed regardless of the learning environment. Furthermore, TESOL serves as the term for teacher training programs and the subsequent certification that prospective educators undertake. This certification aims to fulfill the qualification requirements established by the majority of global employers seeking English language instructors. TESOL and TEFL certification While applying for English language...  [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]

One subdivision is the teaching of English to learners whose first language is not English. The three terms most commonly seen here are TESOL, TEFL and TESL. A lot of confusion exists around these terms and in particular the question of TESOL vs TEFL, which leads to a number of inevitable questions. You might ask… In looking at these various terms we will show that the idea of comparing one against the other, i.e. “TESOL vs TEFL” isn’t very helpful. So what do they mean? When the English teaching takes place in a country where the predominant language is not English, such as teaching English in Germany or...  [Read more]
