TEFL Courses

“TEFL” (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) is a comprehensive English language teaching course which intends to prepare those who are interested in pursuing English language teaching as a career in their own countries or abroad. The TEFL course focuses on developing skills language teachers need to teach different aspects of the English language, including language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc. Besides language skills and micro-skills, other important aspects of language teaching will be addressed as well. These include class management, lesson planning, and curriculum development.

The TEFL course will be presented in two parts. The first TEFL course (Introduction to TEFL: Theories and Methods) is for those who do not have any background in language teaching. These participants will learn about theories of language learning and teaching, the most common language teaching methods (in terms of principles and techniques), linguistics for language teachers, and English phonetics (and phonology). The second TEFL course (TEFL: Techniques and Principles) has been intended for those who have teaching background in languages other than English and would like to pursue a job in teaching English, or they would like to refresh their knowledge and learn about the most recent developments in English language teaching.
