Online TEFL, Online TESOL Certification Course. International TEFL Academy offers a 170 hour online interactive distant-learning TEFL class including 20 hours of practicum (student teaching, observation). Within the online course, students will find comprehensive methodologies for Teaching English as a Foreign Language as well as insight on second language acquisition. You will correspond with your professor on every assignment, who will provide guidance on the subjects being covered to the entire class. Class sizes are limited to 20 students to ensure maximum professor/student correspondence. Small class sizes also instill a sense of camaraderie amongst the students and open up more opportunities for class interaction and discussion. Students must complete all assignments, essays, quizzes, and tests to pass the TEFL course. In addition to the work listed above, students must also provide peer-to-peer feedback on every assignment. Peer to peer feedback allows students to learn from each other, and also offers an opportunity to encourage their fellow students when they feel they have presented a good idea. Each student completes an assignment with a different creative vision, and by engaging in peer-to-peer feedback, students can acquire a much broader perspective on each subject. TEFL TESOL Course Components ITA courses comprise of 3 main components that ensure the student's success as a professional English language teacher - Teaching Methodology, Language Acquisition, Student Teaching (Practicum). 1) Teaching Methodology: These are the skills that are essential to each teacher, and include: * Classroom management * Personality and language assessments * Curriculum development * Lesson planning 2) Language Acquisition The components of language learning will be covered: * Reading * Writing * Speaking * Listening * Grammar * Phonetics and linguistic analogy are also thoroughly covered in the course. 3) Practicum: 20 hours of student teaching/observation/tutoring within a local ESL classroom To successfully complete a TEFL/TESOL certification course, the International TEFL Academy requires that each student complete 20 hours of practicum. These practicum hours allow each student to gain firsthand experience working with real ESL students, whether it is in an actual classroom setting, or by tutoring a non-native speaker privately. International TEFL Academy encourages our students to complete these hours while they are still enrolled in the course. For these reasons, completing the practicum hours during the course allows the student to immediately practice what they are learning in the online class. We do, however, automatically allow an additional 30 days after the course is finished to complete the practicum hours. International TEFL Academy offers lifetime job guidance to every graduate.
