Entry requirements

This course is open to native and non-native speakers of English over 21 with a degree or equivalent qualification.

All applicants will be expected to demonstrate an acceptable level of linguistic proficiency.

Experience of teaching is not necessary, but you must be prepared to work hard on what is a demanding, but rewarding experience.

Course details

By completing this course you will learn how to teach a group of students of mixed nationalities using only English. This may sound daunting, but, following a carefully-designed syllabus, our aim is to turn you into a confident and knowledgeable teacher.

The course training sessions cover:

-teaching skills
-classroom management
-pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar – and how to teach them
-problems encountered by language learners
-evaluating coursebooks and developing your own material
-technology in the classroom

Your coursework involves the completion of the following projects:

-The Teaching Practice Journal
You will teach seven lessons totalling six hours. You must compile a journal containing lesson plans, materials, self evaluations and tutors’ feedback.

-Guided Observation Journal
You will observe four hours of lessons given by trained teachers and comment on what you have seen.

-Language Awareness Exam
A test of grammar, pronunciation and teaching skills.

-Learner Profile Assignment
A study of a learner - an appraisal of his/her abilities and details of a one-hour lesson to teach them

-Materials Assignment
Here, you analyse and assess material you have produced as part of your teaching practice. This project is marked externally.

-Unknown Language
In these sessions, you experience first-hand what it’s like to be immersed in a language lesson as a beginner student.

The course requires hard work and dedication.As well as attending the sessions, there is a fair amount of research and follow-up work in your own time. You will most likely, however, find it one of the most rewarding educational experiences of your life, and for many trainees gaining the certificate is the start of a new and exciting career.
