30 hour Teaching Young Learners Course

Modules One-Two:

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 teaching younger learners and teens. 

Module Two: Understand Your Responsibilities as a Young Learners Teacher

Classroom routines are important in any good classroom but for younger learners it is vital to have structure and consistency. Learn classroom management techniques that will eliminate the chaos and make your lessons run smoothly.

Modules Three-Four:

Module Three: How to Teach Grammar and Vocabulary

Did you know that we say about 7,500 words on an average day? Don’t worry you will only be asked to teach your young learners a few hundred of these. From beginner vocab like HELLO and GOODBYE you’ll study the tools to teach vocabulary and use them effectively so that your students can use it in the right context.

By the end of this module, you’ll also know your present continuous from your present simple tense. Most of all, you’ll be familiar and confident with grammatical terms.

Module Four: 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, audio stories and recordings, to reading articles, emails, facebook posts both inside and outside the classroom.

Modules Five:

Module Five: 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 favorite superheroes, games or pets. You’ll also get help with how to teach your students to write English – at all levels, from favorite foods, to their hobbies.

I just completed the 10-hour Virtual TEFL Course and am on a high! Our tutor, Michelle Benson, was enthusiastic and informative and... involved everyone in the lessons, building a good rapport and making the whole experience fun and engaging. The course is well structured with lots of interaction, giving those who are a little shy or nervous about talking in front of others more confidence. I found the teaching practice stage and feedback invaluable. I recommend this course for teaching practice, lesson planning, tutoring and peer motivation. My confidence has improved thanks to this course, and I can't wait to teach my first student. Thank you, Michelle!read more

As someone with no prior experience in teaching, the two-day 10 hour TEFL classroom methodologies course made me more confident in planning... lessons and knowing what to teach students at different levels. The instructor, Michelle Benson, gave a well structured course that covered a lot of important topics. We had to plan a short lesson on the second day, and Michelle gave us very great feedback and what was good and what we can improve on. I would recommend this to anyone who is starting out in teaching English.read more
