Our School is a dynamic private language school based in Prague 6, specializing in the Trinity Certificate in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses. Another common abbreviation for such a qualification is TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). No previous teaching experience is required. Our 4-week, intensive TEFL Certificate course is a practical and theoretical training course designed to produce teachers with the skills and techniques needed to teach English abroad. With English being the universal language for travel and international business, the demand for native-English teachers is constantly increasing.
The school provides trainees with a sound and comprehensive introduction to all aspects of ELT (English Language Teaching). We equip participants with all the basic skills associated with a career as a TEFL or TESOL teacher. The staff at our school work closely with trainees on finding teaching opportunities worldwide. Job guidance is available to all graduates both in Prague and through Prague TEFL's wider service. Prague Schools runs ten full-time, four-week Trinity Cert. TESOL courses every year.
The aims of a TEFL course, as indicated above, are, clearly, to provide trainees with the tools to do the job: to impart the required knowledge of the theory of ELT, coupled with the guidance and the means to put theory into practice. Through a series of lectures, lessons, seminars, workshops, etc, we will create a model to help trainees use various techniques, materials and methodology and apply them to teaching real classes of real students.
We cover classroom management and lesson planning and provide a chance for you to put these into action with genuine learners of English at at least two different levels. In addition, we provide trainees the chance to observe experienced teachers teaching actual classes.
