ACT's TEFL course is a delight and an eye-opener for all.

It was a wonderful experience in doing the 120 hour TEFL course. Trainer Ashika's teaching has instilled the confidence in me which I did not have before. Her sessions were really interesting and were very interactive. The entire course was so educative. It helped us in learning the teaching methods and strategies in teaching English. This course is an eye opener, suitable for anyone dreaming to be a professional teacher. Also, you get to meet great people in the process. Every minute is a moment of insight and inspiration.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Teaching a class of 25 kids of age 10 English for the first time was the most nerve racking moment and I overcame it with a lot of practice and problem solving methods taught by ACT's TEFL course.
Pros
  • Teaching English
  • Bringing confidence

My ACT TEFL experience

It was a wonderful and pleasant experience. From day one, I enjoyed my time here with my peers. Also, our trainer was very appreciative, enthusiastic and was able to deliver the content clearly. We had a lot of fun and exiting activities which helped me learn the theory parts. Also working with others on the same field gave me a handful of experience and knowledge. Overall, the course was very beneficial and encouraging. I would gladly suggest this course to anyone who is willing to teach abroad.

What was your funniest moment?
Dancing is one of my areas of weakness. It was a bit embarrassing in one of the activities where we had to dance. Yet, it was funny since everyone here is really comfortable to work with

My experience

A great opportunity for those aspiring candidates to teach abroad however, there is no placement though it is written 100% job placement on the website . The teaching methods that were used in the course was totally different from what I expected and it has different methods of teaching to the learner’s , the course was intensive however, it was fun with so much of activities and getting to meet new people was the best part , special thanks to Ma’am Anamika she had made me feel comfortable although I was intimidated in the beginning.

Had a good time doing TEFL

I had a good time doing TEFL course at Asian college of teachers Bangalore .. My trainer Ms Anamika is very insightful and shared real time experiences of how teachers can make a difference.
I also feel that we should make sure that in a class any regional dominance should be avoided as it can impact learning for others..
The professional decorum should be maintained by all so that we do not lose the essence of we we intent to do..
Thank you Asian college for teachers and all the supporting staff and trainers for your guidance and support

Appreciation highlights of training

What made my experience great:
1. Faculty is very knowledgeable and a master of the craft
2. Staff very helpful and amiable
3. The procedural knowledge has equipped me to impart training in a more effective manner
4. The methods and techniques used were not one-sided lecture based and hence was a good learning experience
5. The rigorous peer teach practice helped in boosting confidence to implement the learnings practically
6. Icing on the cake was the real-world teaching experience in school.

Few suggestions for improvements:
1. In a mixed regional group, faculty should encourage to have conversations in English rather than regional languages whenever faculty is not present in the class.

2. Use of foul language is fine with own friends circle however trash talking should be discouraged in a professional institute premises.

3. Religion based conversations and negative discussions should be avoided in the classroom.

My suggestion would be to have a guideline printed inside the premises or classrooms. A briefing on the above decorum by the staff will definitely help. Thanks.

Alumni Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with verified alumni.

Why did you choose this program?

It's my dream to travel around the world. Basically I'm a commerce student (mcom). If I choose an accounting job, any other job I can't fullfill my dream. Teaching is my passion, so I decided to teach and travel around the world. I'm sure that this program is the best way to fullfill everyone's dream.

What did your program provider (or university) assist you with, and what did you have to organize on your own?

ACT helps every students to improve their communication skills and also they provide advanced technology, methodology to their students. Our trainer Is also a talented person; she helps me so much to clear my doubts without hesitation. If I can do my own, I should help the students to achieve their dreams.

What is one piece of advice you'd give to someone going on your program?

My advice is to my friends who are going to do this course is that, if you have strong passion for teaching, you can succeed; otherwise, never do this course. This course is a big platform for those who dream to go abroad and teach. It is also a challenging program. Do what you make happy and follow your heart.

What does an average day/week look like as a participant of this program?

If you are studying in ACT, punctuality is a must. Wake up early and going to class on time is very important. Every day we are eagerly waiting to do new activities and pair works. There are lot of activities and group work given by our trainer that are very useful for improving our ability to teach and handling the students.

Going into your experience abroad, what was your biggest fear, and how did you overcome it? How did your views on the issue change?

I don't have any experience because I never go abroad. If I get a chance to go abroad, my biggest fear will be independence because I live in a joint family; I never visited any place without my parents. But I believe I can overcome this situation for making new friends and colleagues. Face situations with courage and confidence.

Do you have a favorite story abroad?

I don't have any favourite story to share, sorry for that. I think, don't go abroad with fears. Just enjoy your profession and travel around the world . Set your mind before going to abroad; face the challenges and accept their culture; obey the rules don't make it complicated. Respect elders. Thank you.

What is your favorite travel memory?

Although I have traveled to few countries in the world and immigrated too, however, till date my all time favorite travel memory is when I had visited Thailand in the year 2009. It was almost as if I was in love with that place instantly and secretly wished to work in Thailand. By God's grace, my dream came true through Asian College of Teachers. As TEFL trainer, my job demands traveling and training in different locations and I have been traveling to Bangkok on and off for the same. Exotic locales of Thailand, friendly and ever smiling people, amazing hospitality, unlimited variety of food and a paradise for the shopaholics, make my travels to Thailand an evergreen one, always.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

There are many factors that come into play in being a successful company. However, I believe that the biggest factor is innovation along with good marketing strategies. Although success, however we choose to define it, is a continuous work in progress. Most importantly, in a company where people work as 'WE' than 'I', it is creating more compelling and enriching future.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have not only changed but also grown since working for Asian College of Teachers. Changed in terms of being more confident, efficient and most importantly in skill building. Definitely I see myself to have grown as an effective communicative trainer and people's manager, from what I used to be fours years back.

What unique qualities does your company possess?

The leadership team of every good company has a great ambition for the company. Asian college of Teachers (ACT) offers the same, meet customer needs, relentless attention to execution (not only the products but in customer service too) and offers flexibility to all its employee, which makes ACT a great place to work for.

Describe a time when you felt especially proud to be part of your current team.

There is not a time where I felt proud to be a part of an efficient team but quite a few moments where I have felt the same. To be able to recognize employee's talent and efficiency is culture and a ritual that is effectively practiced in ACT. Whenever my hard and smart work have been appreciated, it goes without saying that it has simply boosted my self confidence, helped further to speed up my efficiency and planted the seed to learn and grow more.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

The best story so far what I have heard is when a student claims how ACT has touched its life and has helped to transform. The best of the best part is, when a student expresses to be a part of ACT as an employee or to work as a partner.
