| Many new EFL
teachers are promoted within their first year to management positions or
training assistants. With its focus on presenting affordable overseas certificate
programs, offering excellent training, and ensuring the employability of
graduates, ITC is distinct among TEFL training programs in
this rapidly growing industry. Our training and management teams have years
of experience in language schools and training institutes throughout the
world. They can offer a classroom of real world experience that enables
our graduates to begin careers in respected schools throughout the English
teaching world. Taking the ITC TEFL course outside of your home
country gives you the hands-on experience needed to make a smooth transition
from student to teacher. The teaching practice during the ITC course
will help you get a realistic feeling for teaching non-native English speakers.
In addition to the course itself, we offer support and guidance in your
adjustment to living in another country.
The course
is an initial qualification designed to provide prospective teachers with
little or no classroom experience with a good command of fundamental procedural
skills used in EFL classrooms around the world today. Throughout
the program you receive a balance of the necessary theoretical knowledge
with practical application. |
|
|
| The course
is essentially participatory in nature and teaching practice forms a major
component. By the end of the course you are able to plan and create
enjoyable and engaging lessons and develop a good rapport with foreign
language students. We draw on a variety of methods and materials which
encompass different learning styles, encouraging active participation and
student-centred interaction through task-based learning.
Doing a TEFL
certificate in either Prague or Barcelona gives you the advantage of first-hand
experience not just in learning how to teach, but also of life and daily
interaction in a different country. This offers a greater understanding
of second language learners and provides further sensitivity to their needs.
In addition ITC also offers a series of fun and practical introductory
Czech or Spanish lessons that help you gently settle into your new environment. |
