Description

TEFL International in Indonesia trains teachers. We'll give you the basic tools that can be used in most teaching environments.

Training Schedule:

The first class will take place Monday morning at 9:30 a.m., at which time we will provide a complete course schedule. Sessions generally run between 9:00 a.m. and 4.30 p.m. with regular breaks.

There will be a welcome meal provided by the school on the first day of the course.

Trainees are expected to attend all input and other sessions included on the schedule unless they are sick and require medical treatment. This is particularly important for Teaching Practice (TP) as it is very difficult to arrange alternate TP times.

Phonology. Inputs cover phonemic, word stress and intonation, sentence stress and intonation, rhythm and intonation, and connected speech.

III. Student Profile

Trainees work with individual students on rapport-building, error analysis and correction and addressing individual student needs. Three meetings with the student are required including transcription and error analysis of audio and written samples, culminating in a 60-minute session observed by a trainer.
