Our TEFL distance learning courses are a follow up to our intensive weekend courses and lead on to our 100 hour TEFL certificate.

Most of the people who have attended our weekend TEFL course often want to extend their knowledge. The distance course is designed to amalgamate and be an extension of the topics that were covered in the first course. It will of course cover extra areas that are not covered in the intensive course.

The tefl distance learning course takes a total of eighty hours to complete, this combined with the twenty hour intensive course will give you a total of one hundred hours of tefl training. This is a qualification that is widely recognised across the globe and will give you a good foot in the door for teaching EFL and gives you an advantage when you apply for a job in this field.

The distance learning course in TEFL is designed so that you can study at home in your own free time, so it does not distract from your current employment. When choosing this course you will be sent a workbook which we have created especially for this reason, this will be sent directly to your home address. In this work pack we will also provide you with a book which is full of resources to aid you in the completion of this course, this book will also help you to best plan classes for your new career.

As this is a distance learning course you will obviously be working from home and on your own but in the resource book you will have valuable information that will contain contact details of course tutors that will be ready and able to offer advice on any matters relating to TEFL.

Our intensive TEFL courses will help you to form your own ideas on the best activities that you can use when teaching as well as effective lesson planning and the methodology of language teaching.

The intensive tefl course lasts for a total of two days and you must be prepared to work hard and absorb information readily and easily as this is your stepping stone to teaching English as a foreign language, the course will help you to understand the skills needed to teach English to foreign pupils and how best to manage the classroom that you are teaching in, we will also teach you to have confidence when faced with a brand new classroom full of faces that are hanging on your every word as this can often be the most daunting prospect.

The topics that you will cover during the intensive two day tefl course include the elements which make someone a good teacher and how you can help students become better students. Our trainers will teach you how to manage a classroom. One of the hardest things to do when teaching foreign students is describing language and that is part of the intensive course here so you should have no problems when you need to put your methods into practice.

That is just a few of the topics covered others that we will go over will include the best way to correct students grammar and pronunciation without making them feel that they are doing something wrong so that you do not knock their confidence. One of the most important factors is teaching the students the four main skills needed for learning a foreign language and those are reading and writing as well as pronunciation and the ability to listen and recognise words. We will show you how to plan your lessons so they are effective for different levels of students. We will also give you the chance to practice your skills in front of a classroom before you go out into the real world to teach the skills you have been taught on our intensive tefl course.
