• Join the weekend course to find out what TEFL TESOL really is about and commit to further training when you are ready.

• Enjoy lively hours working in groups, developing communicative techniques that will be useful in many other situations as well as teaching.

• Re-discover how you learnt language as a child, and start to use mime, pictures, games and role plays to experience language in action.

• Learn grammar the same way you approach cooking: knowing what tools, what ingredients you use for which dishes and how to do it – so you can explain it to each other, or to anyone else.

• You will prepare and do two simple 10-minute teaching demonstrations, and finish feeling more confident, a better communicator, and quite elated.

• If you want to acquire a more comprehensive qualification, add on the 140 hour Distance Learning TEFL course. Then gain experience teaching foreign students by joining our TEFL Work Experience Week.

“I thought the weekend would involve sitting in a class, listening to theory and taking notes in a very diligent tweed-and-leather-elbow-patch kind of way. How wrong could I be? I had a truly fantastic time, everyone got into the spirit of things and the teaching was engaging and fun. I really think it was one of those life changing events you hear people talk about and I’m so glad I’ve experienced one as well.”
Mike, 31, senior marketing analyst, London.

• Study Experienced Teachers in Action. 3 hours of lessons on DVDs show you how it can be done. You use this material to learn about lesson planning and teaching techniques. You will also study 6 hours of live classes.

• Your Course Materials. 4 course books you write your work into, 2 DVDs with teaching demonstrations and 2 interviews with foreign students and “New Headway Intermediate” Students’ book (you’ll learn how to adapt existing course materials).

• Your Personal Tutor. You will always have someone you can contact. As soon as we get your fist book back we will allocate your personal tutor. Until then you can call our head office and we have a tutor you can talk to.

Entry Requirements: All candidates will be asked to do a short language knowledge check as part of the booking procedure. If you are a non-native English speaker, your English needs to be fluent and accurate and at a standard required for entry into UK higher education, i.e. IELTS band 6 or above, Cambridge Certificate of Advanced English or equivalent. Give us a call if you have any questions.

You don’t have to have a degree to do our course, but be aware that some countries require a degree for working visas.

“I have found the course stimulating and sometimes challenging but also satisfying. It has opened doors to me and I now feel equipped to pursue my interest in teaching. The course has raised my awareness of the English language and heightened my curiosity about words, where they come from and how the language has developed. This course has opened up new possibilities. Thank You.”

Actually being in the classroom environment is the best way to learn about TEFL. You learn about the everyday life and the organisation of the school. Get the teaching practice that your future employers are looking for.

Before teaching your own foreign students, you prepare your lesson plans with the guidance of your tutor. After teaching, you discuss your lesson with your tutor and find out how to develop your techniques.

You observe a variety of teachers, levels and types of lessons such as Business English, 1:1, Pronunciation and exam classes. This is a great way of picking up ideas for your own lessons, and seeing what really works.

At the end of a successful week, you receive a graded Teaching Practice Certificate. You also get a written assessment of your teaching to support your applications for TEFL work.

You can also join this programme if you have completed another TEFL course than ours if it is of a minimum length of 100 hours. Please contact us for further details.
