Study ESL Abroad

The course is nicely balanced between grammar, receptive and productive skills, and how to teach. The vocabulary and games units were especially helpful, and it was nice space out the tense units so that I could learn each group and common errors and corrections separately without needing to worry about forgetting everything. I think online teaching should either be splashed around everywhere or be optional as I don't really ever intend to teach online: the thought actually makes me shudder. The certificate is very attractive and the QR verification worked when I tried it not long after I finished.

Happy I did this and I feel more confident for taking notes and watching the lessons. I can't compare with anything else because this was my first online course and I have no English teaching experience, but the course helped me cover everything from basic parts of speech to different sentence complexes and that kind of thing. I knew many things from just naturally speaking, but it gave me the metalanguage and confidence to be able to pick out mistakes and (mostly lol!) be able to explain what students do wrong with language. The classroom management ideas are certainly useful and I knew they would be, but it was the motivation information that made me think about games and activities as more than just fun. The course had more than 20 units full of ideas and I think this alone was worth it, but they also provided me with a few packets of digital lesson plans and job information. Everything I could think I wanted was there except maybe individual videos covering every concept. They did show some concepts with their long lesson videos though. I have finished more intelligent on teaching!

I come from a research background and so I appreciate facts and knowledge that’s well researched and has some robustness to it. The course text on this course was excellent in that regard, blending research based studies with experienced teacher comments and advice. It makes for good reading with high ethos. Everything is well presented

I am happy to report that this was a reputable route to getting certification for teaching English as a foreign language. I started my course 4 months ago during summer and have now finished the course with a score of 83%. This is a major achievement for me and I am feeling particularly proud of myself and being able to complete this course at the same time as working. Everything provided to me was useful and I have made an effort to download everything available and to take notes of what I have considered to be important.

I researched for maybe 3 hours before I decided to pay any money, knowing what some of the course looks like from their website pictures. The course is nicely planned out and easy to move around. Practice tasks are useful but maybe begin a little early. The material is colourful and quite pleasing to move throughout. The quality of material shows that they care about students, I think. I worked on it for 6 weeks part time and made sure I read everything to get whole value for my money.

I wasted a lot of time procrastinating and fretting about options of course hours , providers, accreditation and all that nonsense instead of just reading reviews, picking something and getting started. What I finally did was just message my top picks and decided on this group because they were fast to reply and seemed good. Glad I did. The text and presentation are pro, there’s video coverage of everything, a fair bit of engagement where you tap things open and that, questions with feedback on a lot of pages and a bit of challenge to it all. Obviously I’m impressed with this company since I upgraded to the 168 hours course. Just as I was helped into this course by reviews I’m happy I might do the same return favour.

My experience on the Gold Coast truly changed my life and led me to the best months of my life and the best people. I loved getting to meet people from all walks of life but finding things we had in common, for example our love of the beautiful beaches we had access to on the Gold Coast. Bond University was truly an amazing school with super interesting classes and the coolest professors. I loved how many activities the school itself put on for its students and found that a great way to meet locals, and other students studying abroad from other programs. From Cairns, to Stradbroke Island, to our home base on the Gold Coast, WorldStrides provided so many opportunities for us to get to know each other and the culture of our host country. I truly don't think I could ask for a better few months or a better program. I am so grateful for this program and the opportunity to be a student blogger for the company to allow myself to share some of my favorite memories and moments from Australia.

I’m just not a fan of online courses. I looked at in person courses and almost shuddered at the price, so online learning is what I had to settle for. Dont get me wrong, it’s a good course, but it’s still just screen work. For being online, the content was very good.

I absolutely enjoyed my learning experience and give study TEFL 5/5 for everything once I was inside the learning system. Videos were clear, everything was nicely arranged and worded, and there were no mistakes at all that I could find with grammar, spelling or accuracy of content (I have taught before). However, they need to simplify their enrollment system as I was left a little perplexed about where to go, since I accidentally closed the popup that I assume was supposed to inform me of what to do. Eventually, I checked my email for a message, but this could've been avoided with a slightly better system with fail-safes in place. Hopefully they fix this because everything else was very intuitive and far exceeded my expectations.

My experience was surprisingly good: this is a pro course with plenty of effort to actually train me through feedback and semi challenging tasks. It didn’t have individual feedback for assignments but I believe they have that option for a little more money. What they did have was a great attitude and lots of extra resources when I finished

Okay I’m impressed by this and happy to share my thoughts. I start with doubtful thoughts and finish with thoughts of how happy I am at the quality and elegance of the course. Now I can teach and have confidencia for my ambition.

Studying abroad in general is life changing but studying in the Gold Coast was above that! It was an amazing experience that taught me so much about myself and the world. There is so much to do around the Gold Coast a sememster wasn’t enough!

I’ll start by saying that when I started the course they had everything on their old system, which was fine, but comparing to the LMS course where I’m doing the extension, it’s a huge difference! I was actually happy with the website version because it had video and activities and enough quality text to make me forget about the esthetics looking a bit…old and worn, but seeing the new graphics and esthetics has ironically made me look back at the old course look and feel that taking a star off is justified. The new course is amazing. Like it looks superb in terms of images and layout. So far, the young learners units are pretty strong, but it’s hard to beat the text coverage of the main course I did. Still, it’s interesting knowing about Piagote and other child psychologists etc

Sometimes you find a real bargain and it just goes to plan. This is that and that is epic! These guys have something really special in that they don’t seem to settle for just fine. For example, I messaged about a practice quiz having a font size that was a bit small for my liking and they told me they’d fix it. An hour later, I got an email saying it was fixed - every practice quiz since then has been in larger dont. Taking this course has taught me A LOT! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a TESOL cert.

It’s good. I was recommended the 168 hours course through a friend but went with the 120 hours since that’s what Jonny recommended when I emailed and told them my situation. The price was good and so was content. Solid.

properly found this a bargain, like I paid close to 40 euro but it felt properly good value. took me 3 weeks to pass. when I finished there was a bangload of stuff to download and look at and the certs are legit to look at with a code to check.

Fast forward to the end, I got my certificates all downloaded and emailed to a few recruiters, who have all okayed them, which is a big deal to me. What I paid for the course was a little mind boggling tbh, as the speed of responses was fast and with a caring attitude, and the course layout and material is excellent. I've marked them down for pre and post course because I saw that other courses had freebies like TEFL location guides to download and some lesson plans etc but I haven't seen anything like that here. Regardless, as I said, what I did happen to get was more than enough to make up for those other little things being amiss. I am so satisfied with the majority of things that I wouldn't hesitate to commend this company to others.

Impressed is the word I'll use. Yes, there is room for growth by including a community chatroom or something and maybe having buttons that I could've clicked if I wanted to flag something rather than messaging, but these are trivial compared to what I got in terms of training. I paid little but got lots, and that's why I chose them, and that's why I will recommend them to others.

I actually did the 168 hour course and not the 120 advertised here. Will keep it quick. Material is modern with no old videos, text is clear and easy to read along. There's a narrator for the text but I didn't listen. Certs are clean and look nice. I felt like I got good value from it.

My course was a good mixof revision for grammar and language that I have known already from my school and also many useful informations about how I can teach the language to others. It is a clean website and has many extra bonus learning resources.
