I followed the 180hour level 5 TEFL course online, the program is clearly organized and there is always help available when you need it.... Due to being in a different time zone, I couldn’t attend any meetings but they always have useful meetings to help with different topics. I can’t wait to start teaching!read more

I was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and support I received from Premier TEFL. Even when I encountered a few... challenges along the way, their team responded promptly and helpfully every single time. Thanks to Lisa for your prompt response, and Jenny O'Sullivan the Course Assessment Officer.One of the highlights of my learning journey was the online course led by Michelle Benson. She’s an amazing teacher who is clear, engaging, and full of energy. Every session felt exciting and well-structured, and she always made complex topics easy to understand. Michelle’s teaching style kept me motivated and made the course feel enjoyable from beginning to end.I would highly recommend Premier TEFL to anyone looking for a solid and supportive platform to begin or advance their TEFL journey. I’m truly grateful.read more

I recently took a 10-hour TEFL class online with Michelle K. and I have to say, it was very helpful. She went over teaching methods in the... ESL classroom and gave us instruction on how to set up a lesson, what strategies to use, and how to make sure your students get the material. We were also given instruction on how to draft our own lesson plans and were able to get real-world teaching practice by simulating a classroom teaching session where our classmates were students, which was nerve-wracking but necessary and useful.Michelle was kind, accommodating, patient and really knew her stuff. She has a unique and effective way of demonstrating language acquisition where she introduces a completely foreign third language to demonstrate language acquisition and put her students in the shoes of their future students. It was a brilliant use of the Gattegno Immersion-based teaching strategy.She made the time go by quickly as she focused on class interaction and her material was fresh and well structured. She was very positive and helped those of us with no teaching experience feel comfortable sharing and discussing among strangers. Her instruction was essential in helping us grasp classroom dynamics and teacher-to-student interaction. If you’re trying to get learn practical skills for teaching ESL, take the 10-hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course with Michelle K. It’s worth it if you are a brand-new teacher with no classroom experience or a seasoned teacher who has been away from the classroom for some time.read more

I have completed the 180 hour Level 5 course and I have to say: Premier TEFL courses are MASTERPIECES and I am not exaggerating. The... information provided was very useful, the tips on how to work with different materials, how to engage and motivate students throughout the learning process have already helped me with my current students. Special thanks to the team who answered all my questions (even outside of working hours): Rachel, Jenny and Anya, and of course the Academic Director Jacob Thomas. After this course I fell even more in love with teaching.read more

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.
