TEFL SYLLABUS

Our TEFL Course is divided into three main parts: General Teaching Principles, Grammar and Vocabulary Application and Teaching Practice.

All sections of the course are fundamental for your TEFL preparation. However particular attention should be given to teaching practice. In fact, the teaching practice is essential to complete your TEFL curriculum  since it allows you to confront a real classroom environment. It enables you to test your acquired skills in managing and teaching EFL classes and gives you a gist of the resources you need to teach English as a foreign language. Although this is the final check that will guide you into or out of your career as a EFL teacher, the issues learnt in this course will serve you for life, both on a personal and professional basis.
