TEFL training in Bangkok

I came to Thailand looking for answers of how to become a qualified English teachers.

Only three weeks, all my questions were answered by Teacher Annie who was so passionately to teacher our fellow teachers from all over the world. We all came from different country and different background. Here we learned to know each other, and eventually we were like a big family when coming the time of graduation.

It is not easy to become who we are today, because there were for sure lot of work ahead of you to get to a point on preparing a good class. However, there will be much more satisfaction after all. And I guarantee you that you willllll not regret because you gain knowledge and friendship here at ACT Thailand.

If you are a traveller, a retirees, or whoever want to teach while enjoying travel, this is the program for you.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Young and adult students exceed my expectation after I taught them the topic's today.

It was a great experience and exposure

My experience was full of adventure. I took time to adjust the 1st few days but later on things were very smooth. I did not realise how these 21 days passed. We learnt so much. New techniques New methods of teaching. Teaching practice was the most difficult but full of exposure and fun and adventurous at the same time. Our peers helped us a lot with our work. Lesson planning was very interesting we learnt basic plan, Litsening plan, reading plan which was a very useful. We can use this plan for setting lesson plan for any age group. We learned new warmers and interesting ways to grab the attention from the class or crowd. Context setting also plays a important role for introducing a concept to the kids. And later on the main body which was given buy the teacher. I enjoyed myself these 21 days . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What would you improve about this program?
Maybe availability of vegetarian food would help a lot. Thank you :)

Great experience

It was a great experience. I learned a lot about teaching the English as a foreign language. I enjoyed it a lot. Loved everything about❤️❤️❤️
The TEFL course was an excellent course. Assignments were good and relevant to me as student and instructor were very helpful. It assist me to grow as an educator. I can’t comment to much about job resources because I never started using it into maximum level. I’ll recommend this course for everyone.
Great way to earn a certificate if you are working at the same time. You can plan your own study schedule. The flow of the lesson and courses are great and well-structured lesson with assignments to make sure you have a complete understanding of the lessons.
Just finished the 120 hr course and it absolutely provided some of the most insightful and practical materials for anyone who aspires to be a top notch English instructor. My tutor, Aaron, provided thoughtful and very thorough assignment feedback and advice for my future teaching career where he definitely displayed why he is a qualified individual to receive guidance from. Being someone who had already taught in classrooms, albeit in more casual learning settings, I’ve gained loads of insights on how to make sure lessons stay productive while also being fun.

What TEFL's really like

I had a wonderful time in class, especially teaching in a school thrice. If you're a total beginner to the field of teaching, this is a good course for you. It will teach you the very basics of how to teach young learner's, how you must conduct yourself as a teacher and what are the qualities you must possess. For me, coming from a non teaching background, it did give me some direction and clarity in terms of what teaching is all about and what life as a teacher would be like. For someone who is a certified teacher/trainer currently, you probably already possess the skills you would learn here. Overall, it's great for young adults or people coming from another professional background altogether. It is an easy and doable course for one and all. The team is extremely patient and shall guide you even after the course.

What would you improve about this program?
I would hope having an experience teaching adult learner's too would be a great value addition to the course.

Good.

I am really thankful to Asian college of Teachers and its staff for giving me a path-breaking opportunity.The education received at ACT helped and the experience at this organization is wonderful. The atmosphere is of the good level.

I can now feel I am on the way to a great a professional career.Now I am confident to take up challenges in the industry, and it’s all because of my excellent grooming here. I sincerely appreciate the dedication of the management in student welfare.

My journey at ACT has been full of excitement, challenges and learning. It was an environment of great fun, where every day offered the chance to learn something new.
I found the environment at ACT focused on developing a personality that can take on any challenge, while constantly moving forward.

ACT provided me a platform due to which today I find myself a more confident person—personally as well as professionally. At ACT I learnt how to take decisions under all situations, which is something that will definitely help me in the future.

Faculty support all the students regarding their passion . They help us to master out passion. Placement is not that good but they try their best for placements. college infrastructure is not good. School exposure is not good.Students here support each other.

😊

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Infrastructure.
Good ventilated space with best surroundings around. It should be very well eqquiped if it comes to International environment.

Life changer

I had a great experience while this TEFL course. I came to Delhi to only opt for this Tefl course.I had the most intensive three weeks of my life. I am a teacher by profession and teach in my home town.This TEFL course is something I was looking for long. I came to know about it through internet. I searched more about it and landed to Asian college of teachers as I found it to be most reputed. Not only this it also gives opportunity to sit for TCBE ( TESOL canada board exam) and TKT (Teaching knowledge test) cambridge which no other institution in India provides as far as I know.So, I finally did it now. Overall it was amazing experience. Got to know new techniques and skills of teaching foreign students. We learnt about different types of lesson plans which are needed to teach students who are non native. Other than that facilitators are awesome, always helpful.If you are passionate for teaching as well travelling, this is it!!!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
We did a role play. It was surprising because we had to do the same role play with four different emotions. This was something I never tried. It was amazing. Finally we came to know about our acting skills!!! It was superb experience.

It was a great learning experience

It was a really good start of beingTEFL teacher especially in making lesson plan. The tutor proceeded step by step which was really helpful to get the task.
The learned lots of warmer activities and how to context setting which was not really clear to me though I did an online course. That's why actually face to face training is really helpful for teachers.
My experience with my peers is unforgettable. We were from different nationalities but it seemed to me we were in same family. We had lots of fun. All of them were really energizing.
Regarding accommodation it was really fantastic because it was in the same building. Moreover , there is a restaurant and 7/ 11 and other food shop which is very convenient for eating meal.
There I enjoyed my shopping a lot from street and it was really fantastic . As in my country I can't even imagine the price with things which are very expensive.
Over all it was wonderful.

What would you improve about this program?
Some techniques of teaching like eliciting, giving feedback, some more class room management, follow communicative method, more focus on using technology like powerpoint etc.
