If you're new to the exciting world of ELT(English Language Teaching), then this course provides a practical, comprehensive overview of the core skills and concepts that will make you an outstanding teacher.
Whether you're teaching hundreds of students in a vast lecture hall, or a close friend across a coffee shop table, teaching English changes lives. We'll show you, based on our own experiences, how to be the best teacher you can be.
Perhaps you never expected to end up on this side of the classroom, or you found your TEFL course didn't quite prepare you for the reality of facing a bunch of excitable kids (or self-conscious teens). We've been there.
We'll show you a framework that works, and allows you to use your own creativity and flair to make your lessons memorable. We'll show you how to manage your classroom to set your students up for success. We'll show you ways to give feedback, use technology, and play games in ways that help your students to learn, remember, and use the language you teach them.
With this course, you're not just teaching English, you're showing your students how to use English to follow their dreams.
This course is designed to complement a TEFL or CELTAcourse. That means, it's suitable as an introduction to help you decide if teaching is for you (if you're thinking about it, it is!). Or, you can use it to help your TEFL coursework, or to consolidate what you learn on your certification course with practical, real-life examples. In fact, we're pretty confident that most teachers will get something useful from this course!
We don't go deep into grammar or different approaches, and we don't even give you huge lists of games - there are other awesome courses on Udemy for that. But we do give you the reality of teaching and give you the practical skills to deliver great lessons with confidence, wherever and whoever you teach.
