This course will provide you with the skills needed to start your new career as an English teacher. You'll learn how to plan lessons and engage your class, tips for keeping discipline, and ideas for teaching grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Unlike most other TEFL courses, you will undergo a 40-hour, online iTEFL course as soon as you are accepted into the program. This means you will have completed most of the grammar and theory modules before you arrive in Thailand, which also means you will enjoy a more relaxed learning experience at your training location. This allows you to focus on the more practical aspects of the TEFL course, such as teaching practice, on-site.
TEFL/TESOL courses typically last anything from one day to one month. You can do an intensive weekend course, an evening introductory class, or an online course at your own pace. Most employers, however, will expect you to have done some actual teaching practice in front of real students, all of which is included in our TEFL programs.

Course Syllabus
Please note the course syllabus may vary slightly in each location. All TEFL courses are split into a 40-hour online module and 2 weeks in-class.
Our TEFL/TESOL Courses are Divided Into Six Key Areas:
1. Teaching Techniques
2. Thai Language & Culture Course
You will receive some Thai language training to let you experience what it's like being a language student so that it will help direct your own teaching. This will also equip you with enough Thai to get by in Thailand.
3. Teaching Practice
This is the most fundamental area of any TEFL/TESOL course. You will teach real students of English and put into practice the skills you learned on the course. You will conduct up to 6 hours of teaching practice, covering elementary to advanced level students, as well as one-on-one tutoring. You will also observe other teachers in action for 2-3 hours. Course trainers will guide you through the process of planning, preparation, delivery, and reflection and will provide you with constructive feedback on your performance.
4. Language Awareness
Even native speakers of English will surely have forgotten the grammar they learned in school. You will learn how to answer any questions or situations that may arise in a class.
a) Grammar covers word classes, simple sentence elements; complex sentences and clauses; verb time and tense; aspect, conditionals, and modals; phrasal verbs; and voice.
b) Phonology covers phonetics; word stress and intonation; sentence stress and intonation; rhythm and intonation; and connected speech.
5. Student Profile
Trainees work with individual students on rapport-building, error analysis and correction, and addressing individual student needs. Three meetings with the student are required, including transcription and error analysis of audio and written samples, culminating in a 20-minute session observed by a trainer.
6. Examination/Presentation
Trainees sit a written examination and make a presentation of a prepared class. Many other courses will limit your observed classes due to the large number of trainees they take on. Having so many trainees and so few students makes it physically impossible for all their trainees to receive 6 hours. With a maximum of 12 trainees in our courses, you will have plenty of time to prepare for the practicalities of the classroom and overcome those first-time nerves in a controlled environment with the professional support of your tutor.
Your TEFL Trainers
Our TEFL trainers are highly qualified and very experienced in teacher training and language training. They are all full-time employees, and most have been with us for several years. Being fully trained professionals with many years of experience with EFL classroom teaching, our trainers are both authoritative and informed. The training procedure for our trainers is extremely rigorous. Not only are the trainers expected to have post-diploma teaching experience, they are also required to have related industry experience in more than one country.
Course Assessment
All our trainees pass the course. We will not let you fail, even if it means taking the course all over again! Our trainers will spend extra time with you as necessary and coach you in any areas where you are weak. Our goal is that you succeed.
This Thailand TEFL/TESOL program is certified to meet international standards, and we are considered by many to be a front-runner in the field of TEFL/TESOL program development in Thailand.
