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

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.

Walter was a ray of sunshine during a very overwhelming time. The TEFL course deadline was pressing, and I was struggling to keep up with... everything due to life circumstances. Walter went above and beyond. He personally arranged for everything I needed and more to ensure I could finish my TEFL studies successfully. He was incredibly responsive and helpful, and I never felt like just another number. Thanks to Walter's personal attention, I feel confident and supported again. Huge thanksread more

I had a really great experience taking the 10-hour TEFL Class. I learnt so much and feel confident in moving forward to actually start... teaching. Michelle our instructor was fantastic, she helped us to understand what is expected of us and what we could expect. She answered all the questions we had and helped us to build our confidence to move forward into real life teaching. I am thankful for taking this class as it has now given me the confidence to step into teaching right away.read more

I had the privilege of being a student in Michelle Benson's 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course, and I can... confidently say that it was an empowering experience. As someone with ADHD, I often struggle to stay focused and engaged during live classes. However, Michelle's teaching style captivated my attention from the very beginning! Michelle presented the course objectives in a fun and innovative way, and her ability to make even the most "boring" concepts exciting was truly inspiring. I found myself eagerly participating in discussions and activities, which is not an easy thing for me.Michelle treated every student with respect and kindness and encouraged every participant to actively participate. Her encouragement made me feel valued and motivated to excel. Her course equipped me with practical tools, ideas, and resources that I can apply directly in the classroom. One of the highlights was when Michelle taught us a few basic phrases in Amharic. I was thrilled to share this newfound knowledge with my Ethiopian friend, who laughed and corrected my pronunciation. I wholeheartedly recommend this 10-hour practical teaching course to anyone teaching or planning to teach TEFL. Whether you're a seasoned educator or a TEFL student, this course is invaluable.I can't wait to apply what I learned with my students! :)read more
