"The Online TEFL Course That Gives You An Unfair Advantage And Job Guarantee"

The TEFL industry today is competitive so you need to have an advantage when applying for jobs.

This is why we have developed the Cert TESOL PLUS online TEFL course, because we want YOU to have the edge.

This online TEFL course is the Cert TESOL , plus extra modules focusing on methods for teaching young learners and business English for adults.

Picture this...

The employer of a language school has two equal candidates for a job. You and another. You've learned how to teach young learners and business English but the other candidate hasn't.

Who do you think the employer is going to choose? You! TEFL employers want versatile teachers at the end of the day.

In addition to all the benefits of the Cert TESOL online TEFL course, this course includes THREE advanced modules:

Advanced Unit 1: ESOL Skills for Life (not assessed)
At the end of the Skills for Life module you will:
1) have been introduced to the UK national ESOL Skills for Life programme and the Adult ESOL Core Curriculum.
2) understand the differences between ESOL Skills for Life and other existing ESOL courses.
3) have identified the aims of the ESOL Skills for Life course and the needs of the target learners.
4) have had an introduction to the type of course materials and assessment procedures developed for the ESOL Skills for Life programme.
5) know where to get materials and further information for the ESOL Skills for Life courses and assessment.
The INTESOL ESOL Skills for Life module has been written by an approved course provider and assessor for City & Guilds ESOL Skills for Life.

Advanced Unit 2: Business English
Subjects covered in this unit are:
- Business English in relation to EFL/ESOL
- How to carry out a Needs Analysis
- Matching course content to target group
- Creating materials for Business English
- How to write a Business English syllabus

Advanced Unit 3: Young Learners
- Subjects covered in this unit are:
- Differences between the ways in which adults and children learn
- Features in the stages of development of young learners
- Classroom management strategies for use in the Young Learners classroom
- Teaching techniques for use with Young Learners

How Long Does This Online TEFL Course Take?

The length of time it takes to complete the course depends on your other commitments. There are approximately 180 hours of work involved in the course. As a general guideline most students complete the course within 4 months, however if you require more time this is not a problem. If you are in a hurry, for example due to an overseas deadline, inform your tutor who will guide you through the course and enable you to complete it more quickly. There are no set start dates.

Award of Certificate

Certificates are graded as follows:

A1 - Distinction
A2 - Excellent
B1 - Very Good
B2 - Good
C - Pass

Upon successful completion of this course you will receive:

• INTESOL Certificate in TESOL with Business English and Young Learners

Online Teaching Practice (optional)

A low-cost, time effective format and accessible by anyone wherever they are in the world is the INTESOL online TP. All you need is a computer and Skype. You will be given lessons to prepare. Your lesson plans and materials will be emailed to the Director of Studies in the school whose students you will be teaching.

You will be asked to suggest dates, and lessons will be arranged at times mutually convenient for you and the school. You will be able to decide whether to do your lessons on the same or different days. You will also have the option of planning and delivering just one group initially so that you can draw on the experience to plan the following group. You will be expected to plan 6 lessons of 40 minutes each, 3 at elementary level and 3 at a different level. You will be sent details of the lessons you must plan.

Here is an example of a lesson you may be asked to prepare and teach:

• Level: Elementary
• Topic: Where I live
• Target Structures: There is/are; prepositions of place; quantifiers- some, any, a few, a lot
• Vocabulary: Relevant adjectives to describe a town/city; places/buildings in a town/city
  At the beginning of the TP, the tutor will have a quick word with you and after you have been introduced to the students the tutor will remain off screen.
  All your lesson materials will be printed out ready for the lessons; you will be able to ask the tutor to assist by handing out materials, showing flashcards etc.
  At the end of the TP you will be asked to reflect on the practice and for oral feedback. Full oral feedback will then be given by the Director of Studies or tutor.

The Online Teaching Practice is a totally flexible, convenient method of completing your training.

Online Teaching Practice Fee - £175

Onsite Teaching Practice (optional)

One of the great reasons for you to study your online TEFL course with INTESOL is that you have access to TEN accredited language schools in:

UK Locations: London, and Great Yarmouth
International Locations: Barcelona, Spain; Limassol, Cyprus; San Jose, Costa Rica; Cusco, Peru; Hong Kong; Johannesburg, South Africa

At each school you can take one solid week (two weeks at international locations) of observed teaching practice. A total of 40 hours, with 6 hours of teaching practice being observed and assessed.

During your one week teaching practice programme you will gain experience teaching English to real students, in a real language school setting.

Over the week long programme:

• You'll observe experienced teachers teaching, learning techniques from longstanding professionals.
• You'll have plenty of opportunity to practise lesson planning, which in time will become second nature.
• And most importantly, you'll be observed teaching real students and receive positive feedback and support from your personal mentor.

Upon successful completion of the teaching programme you will receive:

• A graded certificate showing your final grade for the teaching practice element of the course. This is in addition to your graded Certificate in TESOL.
• Personal experience of teaching which you can draw upon during TEFL job interviews. This will increase your confidence in job interview, and it will show.
• An additional professional job reference from your teaching practice centre.

Why INTESOL Teaching Practice IS Better

Unlike many onsite courses, such as CELTA and Trinity, we do NOT believe in throwing you in at the deep end. The most important part of being an effective ESOL teacher is being a confident ESOL teacher.

We believe that building confidence in the classroom is a step-by-step process that needs to be taken slowly, or at least at the individual pace of each unique student.

With an onsite course you WILL be thrown in at the deep end. As the name suggests, the nature of an intensive 4 week TESOL course is, well, intensive! In order to fit everything into such a tight timescale you will find yourself being thrown into the classroom to teach real students as early as day two of your course.

This begs the question of how effective you can be when you have barely even scratched the surface of learning how to teach. The answer to that question? Not very effective! And that is why large numbers of students taking a 4 week intensive onsite TESOL course will fail.

But YOU don't need to be part of those numbers.

With INTESOL your teaching practice is taken only after you have learned and absorbed ALL of the theory behind good ESOL teaching practice. In your own time, at your own pace.

When you think about it, it makes perfect sense. How can you make the most of your practice time without learning methods of how to teach first!?

When you turn up to the first day of your teaching practice programme, you will already know about lesson planning and classroom management. You will be fully prepared.

The INTESOL teaching practice programme is a one-to-one course, which means during the course of your week our focus is on YOU, and you alone. During the course of the week you will be assigned a personal mentor, or mentors, who will be responsible for your progress.

Your first experience of teaching will be taking a short portion of a lesson, typically just a ten minute activity.

We want you to feel good about yourself after that first lesson. Experience has shown us that giving you a short activity to prepare for your first lesson increases your chances of being and feeling a success.

Once your first lesson is out of the way, it's plain sailing from there on.

After your first ten minute lesson you'll build up to taking more and more control of each lesson; your confidence building more and more each time. And remember, you will always have your mentor by your side in case you should need help or guidance.

There's no better way to prepare yourself for the classroom than with practice on real language students. You'll gain confidence in the classroom, AND more credibility with employers. When it comes to interviews you'll be able to talk from experience, something every language school Director will be looking for. You'll also be able to hand them a report on your teaching performance.

NEW! Teaching Practice Internship

As a quality TEFL/TESOL Course Provider we understand the importance of Teaching Practice. We also understand the importance to both you, as a teacher, and to potential employers, of a graded Teaching Practice Certificate which proves your ability within the classroom.

We provide a Teaching Practice at several centres throughout the UK plus one in Peru, one in Costa Rica, one in Spain, and one in South Africa.

However we realise that not all of our trainees can afford the time or money to get to these centres. We do not want any of our trainees to be disadvantaged so we have developed the Teaching Practice Internship.

This is suitable for INTESOL trainees who are already employed in a school where EFL/ESOL is on the curriculum or for those who have not yet started on this career path. Those who are not already teaching will be allowed to find a language school, local to them, willing to take part in this programme.

The INTESOL Teaching Practice Internship fee is £220 or £200 if booked at the same time as booking the Certificate in TESOL or Certificate in TESOL PLUS course as an online or postal course. The school will be paid a nominal sum by INTESOL on completion of your practice.

If you are already employed in a school you will need to give us the name of the contact person for your assessments so that we can explain the forms and the process.

If you are not already employed as a teacher you do not need to inform us of your chosen school until you are nearing completion of the online course. We will then ask for contact details so that we can explain the forms and the process.

Your chosen school should have a qualified, experienced EFL/ESOL teacher on the staff who is willing and allowed (by the school) to assess your teaching. In the absence of this you can send us a video/DVD of your lessons for assessment by INTESOL in-house.

The Teaching Practice Internship can take place at times to suit yourself and to suit the school. It may be part-time or full-time, it is a very flexible way to take a practice. Whatever shape your practice takes you will need to observe lessons for at least 10-15 teaching hours; assist a trained teacher for at least 10-15 hours; prepare lessons and teach at least 10 hours. 6 hours of this time will be graded and assessed and will help to determine the grade which will be recorded on your Teaching Practice Certificate.

Before your practice begins INTESOL will email you observation forms and lesson plan templates which you will need to email to INTESOL at the end of the practice.
