TEFL - Course Materials
In-class TEFL trainees will be provided with a course manual for the following topics:
- Language awareness/grammar
- Teaching skills
- TEFL methodology and theory
- Classroom management
- Phonetics
We base our input sessions on these high quality materials and you will be able to keep them after the course to use as a valuable reference in your future teaching career.
We also give trainees course handbooks and materials, including a three-ring folder which should be organized as follows:
The TEFL Course Log
- Lesson plans and assessments
- A journal for your unknown language inputs
- A journal for your observations of experienced teachers
This course log will form a record of the progress you make through the course. The log will be inspected on a weekly basis and used for moderation purposes.
Personal Note File
You will receive numerous handouts throughout the course and will also take your own notes as well. Subjects should include:
- Timetables
- Teaching skills
- Classroom management
- Grammar
- Phonology
Recommended Reading List:
Although not compulsory, the following books are highly recommended and will provide an invaluable resource during the course and once you start work in your own classroom.
