My experience with premier TEFL was great! The coursework is organized and easy to complete with lots of information. Anytime I needed... help, they were there. Jenny O’Sullivan helped me when I didn’t know how to pass the last assessment. You can get it done in as short as 1 month or as long as 6 months depending on how fast you want to go. Definitely recommend👍🏼read more

TEFL has been great thus far. The information is thorough and easy to understand. The LMS platform is user-friendly and easy to... navigate.The teaching practicum was GREAT. We were able to create and teach a lesson plan implementing what we learned.TEFL offers an ABUNDANCE of opportunities to grow and succeed including resources, sites, free webinars, tips, and handouts to reference and use in the future. I am really glad to have selected Premium TEFL.Michelle K. was the instructor for my 10-hour practicum and she was GREAT! Honestly. She was prompt, professional, organized, and engaging. During demonstrations, she was fully committing remaining cheerful and encouraging. She was patient during technical difficulties as well. Overall, honestly a GREAT instructor!Areas to Improve:Platform: I would like to be able to save my scores or see the score of my last attempt and show where I left off. I like that I can redo lessons without my scores being lost but I would like to visually see I completed it with high marks. This is motivating and helps with not having to remember where I left off every time. It's not a huge imposition but would be much appreciated.Request/Suggestion:Offer webinars or Q&A panels for people to ask questions and get in depth testimonials and tips. It could be categorized by teaching interest (online vs. in-person) or by nation or continent. This could be offered as a promotional bonus or for a fee. The fee could be discounted for those who buy a certain package, etc.read more

Modules One-Three:

Module One: How to Make Sense of Teacher/Learner Needs

Understanding your students’ language abilities and why they want to learn English. Get to know the basic principles behind TEFL teaching.

Module Two: How to Understand and Use Grammatical & Teaching Terminology

By the end of this module, you’ll know your present continuous from your present simple tense no problem. Most of all, you’ll be familiar and confident with grammatical terms. We know that grammar can be intimidating for new teachers – it won’t be at the end of module 2!

Module Three: How to Plan Your Syllabus & Lessons

Being the best teacher you can be is down to planning. On this course you’ll get the planning techniques that will not only save you time but will ensure that your lessons run smoothly. You’ll gain students’ respect which of course is great for reviews (especially if you are teaching online).

Modules Four-Six:

Module Four: How to Teach Grammar

Now that you know grammatical terms, you’ll fly through this module on how to teach it. Breaking down your students’ English levels, you’ll know which grammatical term to teach and how to teach it. You’ll get so much useful information about how to prepare engaging grammatical building block lessons which work. Watching your students progress will be so exciting!

Module Five: How to Teach Vocabulary

Did you know that there are around 171,000 words in the English language? Don’t worry, you’ll only be asked to teach a few hundred of those! From beginner restaurant vocab like, MENU, PLATE, GLASS, MAINS to advanced business such as, INCOME, EXPENDITURE, RECRUITMENT. You’ll study the tools to teach vocabulary and use them effectively so that your students can use it in the right context.

Module Six: How to Teach Pronunciation 

Help your students speak English confidently by practicing pronunciation. This is the primary reason that they want to learn English from you. As a native speaker pronouncing a word like ‘enough’ is simple for you, not so with many other nationalities. On this course you’ll learn modern techniques to help your students sound as fluent as possible.

Modules Seven-Ten:

Module Seven: How to Teach Reading & Listening Skills

These are called ‘Receptive skills’ because the student is receiving language. By the end of this lesson, you’ll know the most effective ways to engage students in reading English and how to write it. This includes setting listening tasks to music, radio and recordings, to reading letters, emails, Facebook posts both inside and outside the classroom. Oh yes, you’ll be setting a lot of homework for your students!

Module Eight:  How to teach Writing & Speaking Skills

These are called ‘Productive skills’ because students produce language. You’ll learn plenty of useful ideas about how to get your students up on their feet and chatting to you about hobbies, politics or story telling. You’ll also get help with how to teach your students to write English – at all levels, from favorite foods, to the economy in Spain.

Module Nine: How to Teach English for Specific Purposes

Your students have a reason why they want to learn English. You’ll learn how to differentiate these different types of students and how to tackle their lessons. For example, how to teach teenagers, or business people or exam classes to help students get into universities in the US or UK. You’ll end lesson 9 armed with a breadth of knowledge about who you are teaching, why you are teaching them and what you should teach them.

Module Ten: How to Move from Learning to Earning

Here you’ll get up-to-date tips on the current employment market. Once you’ve secured your first job, in this module you’ll receive details about how to get the best career ‘teachers toolkit’ ready to jump into any job online or abroad.
