I would definitely recommend ACT TEFL/TESOL

ACT TEFL/TESOL has been a great course and a fantastic journey. It has given me the knowledge and experience that I need to apply in a classroom and develop myself further as a language teacher. I have learnt about the importance of lesson planning and the different methodologies and strategies of TEFL. The teaching practices gave me real insight into the world of a language teacher and helped me to put myself in the shoes of the language learner. I look forward to developing myself in the future and using everything that I take away from this course to grow as a language teacher. The support we got from our trainer was meticulous and no aspect was left untouched or uncovered in detail. Feedback was given throughout which helped support me along the journey.

Excellent

I am a postgraduate in English and have done BEd from Pune University. I have been teaching English for last 10 years at a polytechnic. I want to teach English abroad, so that I searcher over internet and came to know that to teach abroad we need to do some sort of certification like TEFL/TESOL. So I decided to do that then I searched over internet and came across Asian college of Teachers. I went through all the reviews and found it reliable than others so I joined ACT to do TEFL at Pune. My experience in TEFL classroom at ACT was excellent throughout the course. Trainer Aditi Ghosh was very energetic and enthusiastic throughout each and every day. My peers were very cooperative to me. I enjoyed this TEFL 120 hrs. in class programme.

Amazing experience

It was a great experience and a very wise decision.

The daily session are filled with learning different approaches with fun and ease.
The methods taught here enable and empower you to teach learners of diverse culture, level, age and understanding.

Teaching is a board concept with just a simple step i.e your delivery and the way you deliver your concepts and understanding to your learners.
This is a perfect course to begin your career incase you are a fresher to the teaching field.
All the staff and leaders of ACT and very helpful and guiding.
You would not regret this decision ever.

Great experience

There was a great experience with ACT I learned so many things here and the different methods of teaching. This is very helpful in my career growth. I will never forget the things which I learned here and the memories which I gained here this all things are unforgettable not related to the career even more things I learned here. Here I learned how to face all my fears. I always get nervoused and my confidence level goes down now I am confident to do any new things without any hesitation. This course helped me not only in the teaching field but even in many more field this course tell me how to easily handle things without getting scared. I join this network to giving the strength and growth in my career. I enjoyed it very much. My trainer Aditi Ghosh she is such a nice trainer she treats every one very friendly.

TEFL COURSE

The class was one unique of its kind. we were given an exposure to different teaching methodologies, a walk through the different modules of teaching. And an intrusive experience about corrections.

First of all, we got to know how different methods and strategies could be used on different levels of English learners no matter what the age was. Especially while teaching English to adult learners. Further, the different ways of study material to be prepared according to the level of exposure of English was something to be kept mandatory. And later, the phase correction was to improve. Debriefing the ways of error correction could be modified was something which will make a big difference when put into practice. This also provided an insight on how to involve students and also encourage them.

Overall, this course is a fine tuner to make us the perfect trainer.

TEFL Course

This course was very informative, interactive and opens up alot of opportunities in terms of job opportunity.
The materials provided for the class was very helpful and informative as well. The classes were conducted in a very systematic manner. The peer teaching practice session was very helpful as it helps to indentify the areas of improvement and hence makes you more prepared for the teaching practice sessions. The lesson plans that were taught were very helpful as it helps to conduct the session in a very systematic manner hence not missing out any steps while conducting the lesson plan.
Highly interactive and informative. We were to do activities as students and debrief them with the trainer. This helped in understanding the purpose and process of the activities. There was time to practice the lessons with peers and receive constructive feedback on the same. Co teaching with peers helped in learning best practices from others. At any point, trainers were helping with questions and confusions.

What would you improve about this program?
I would like for them to introduce more teaching practice sessions with ample time to interact with the students.

Definitely a great learning experience

Teaching English to foreign language learners, requires a lot of training as the instructions have to be specific and the tasks to need to be clearly defined. We learnt this and a lot more at ACT that now makes me feel very equipped to handle my own ESL learners. The trainer Kuhu continuously guided us and creatively covered the content we needed to know to be able to train our own students. We had a wonderful workshop specifically on phonology and grammar, along with peer teach and practice lessons in an environment where English is not the mother tongue so it gave us a lot of experience how to teach EFL students. During the course, we covered various elements of teaching keeping the students in mind and how to make language learning fun and enthusiastic :)

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would like just one coordinator who can provide all the relevant details, as I felt very disappointed been given multiple contacts and people to email for various exams that are a part of the TESOL fees. Too many cooks spoil the broth, similarly the coordinators provided half - half information so that's really disappointing.

It was very interesting learning experience

It was very interesting learning experience because i learnt why we do what we do in our teaching. It was an eye opening experience for me. I learnt about "MI " which was very important learning. As a teacher this is very important. We need to consider all the students. Because all the students are different and their way of learning also different. There is one more thing i learnt is bloomstic taxonomy. Again as a teacher it is very important for me to consider all my students equally. We had wonderful teaching experienced. I am so happy we got to go out in school and do the real teaching. We got to see the real classroom setting. Through this experience we learnt about our classroom managements. We also learnt to make lesson plans which is very important.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
This is a very good course for those who want to work in oversees.
