Course Breakdown

Module 1: Planning a Lesson The key to a great lesson is watertight planning, and through your TEFL career lesson plans will help you massively. Learning to plan properly will mean you're well on the way to great teaching from the second you step in the classroom - and you'll have something concrete to help with those first day nerves!
It makes sense to start at the beginning, so in the first module you'll learn about teaching methods, what to include in a lesson plan, how to set out a lesson plan and adapting your lesson for the different types of learner you might encounter.

  • Initial lesson planning
  • Structuring a lesson
  • Putting planning into practice
  • Check your knowledge: planning

Module 2: Lesson Content Imagine if someone asked you to teach them English on the spot. Hard, right? In this section, you'll learn all about how to structure your lessons and how to present topics in a digestible way.  You'll also get a refresher on the 3 main topics you'll teach: vocabulary, grammar and the 4 skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking), so you're totally equipped for teaching your students in lessons they'll always remember.

Module 3: Making it work in the classroom It's all very well knowing your stuff and putting together tidy lesson plans, but the fact remains: you've still got to stand up there at the front of the class and teach real students.This section explores how to knock your students' socks off with an engaging, exciting lesson that flows well and provides a good learning environment for your students. You'll also learn how to support individual students' needs, and deal with any problems that come up (unfortunately, some are inevitable!).

  • Helping students learn
  • Making it work in practice
