Enhanced learning

ACT TEFL /TESOL helped me to improve know how about my English language skills and various modern techniques to train the language to not only young but also adult learners. This course instilled confidence in me speaking and writing English language .

Additionally, now I am pretty confident to even train English language in corporate world.
It also gave me insight in different innovative ways to handle young learners.

Furthermore,i came to know different culture across the world.

What would you improve about this program?
Techniques of teaching English language is great . I will really appreciate if paper work would have been on line or very less. Moreover, study materials could have been better and at deeper level.

A path to new beginnings!

The experience from start to finish was EXHILARATING!!!
Walking into a TEFL class the first day, I was apprehensive about how this course would be beneficial to me. Through the 3 weeks however, I have not only enhanced my knowledge but have also understood the importance of unlearning a few methodologies to upgrade myself to newer practices of teaching.
Being a Learner first and teacher next is what TEFL strongly recommends and I must admit, my mates n I have had a lifetime of memories through the 3 week learning we’ve been through.
The emphasis of team-work, individual responsibility and innovative thinking has definitely helped me personally to polish my skills.
A big shout out to ACT for having scheduled and programmed the course keeping the minute nuiansances in mind.
A huge thank you to my trainer, Anamika Mukherjee for being a constant support and for being the coolest mentor I could ever imagine !!
#TEFLHYDERABAD a journey that will stay closest to my heart. Am looking forward to treading new horizons with this certification in the future ;)

What would you improve about this program?
Having ACT’s own premises in the city would be helpful.
The minute obligations could be avoided.

TEFL TEACHING

Wow what an experience. I had so much fun and this was a very good experience in teaching the students .it is very different in teaching in south Africa or somewhere else. If you want to teach in Thailand. you need to get a positive attitude in your teaching you must wear your confident smile everyday.Be happy ,show respect for the culture . You will love doing it. You need to be committed to the students.

Course review and feedback

This was an awesome experience. The ACT course was great. The teacher Kuhu was amazing and very friendly. Pak arranged all this for me and was also fantastic. The course itself was very interesting and very informative. I would suggest to anyone to do this course in Thailand rather than online as you will gain more experience by being here and actually doing the practical in the schools. If you have never taught and want to make sure you are not shy or soft spoken. Being in Thailand and doing the course here you will also get to see the culture and meet the people which is also amazing. This course has really given me new insight to teaching. I loved the practical in school training and meeting the students.

What would you improve about this program?
I feel the program could be a little longer as at times it felt a little rushed especially towards the last week.

ACT best TEFL college

i would recommend this course to anyone who is wishing to pursue their teaching career abroad,as we learn many interactive teaching approaches to be adopted according to the level of the language learners.
i found the course to be really helpful because i could overcome my fears and skepticism regarding teaching process specially in teaching English language.
thanks to the complete team of ACT.

What would you improve about this program?

TEFL

I have been a teacher from last 8 years, and I thought I have the idea of how to teach. But ACT makes you much better teacher, a better teacher for your students.

The ACT was like a family, thank you Kuhu for being so patient with us and bearing us, and Pak for being the cutest person.. 😊

Thailand my second favourite place 👍 And the classmates I got was the best. Thank you everyone 😊

For the most part, a fun and challenging experience

Overall, this was a very good program. I really enjoyed how close my peers and I became over the three weeks. We all offered each other support and guidance to get through the program. I enjoyed the varied examples for the warmers and context settings. I liked the all of creative activities in the classroom! I feel like I was given a lot of useful tools and activities to use in my future classroom. The instructor's written feedback was very helpful. I do wish more time had been spent on classroom management techniques. I also felt like we were usually pressed for time to prep for lessons because we had spent so much time doing other things. While I could tell that our instructor was interested in teaching and has a lot of experience, I found that she relied heavily on verbal communication when assigning us homework/explaining lesson plan formatting. I would have preferred to also have it written down in its entirety (only parts were written). She could be very blunt and clearly show her frustration when a student was not understanding a concept. She could have explained it in a different way to get the message through. The teaching practicum was the most helpful part of the experience as we were able to put everything we learned into action. The schools were varied in their skill levels and class size. Because of the short time frame of the class, it was a bit of a "trial by fire" approach, but it really made me think on my feet and be creative, two things which are important to be able do as a teacher. I left the classrooms feeling very accomplished!
Overall, I would recommend this program. It is less expensive than some of the alternative programs and instills a solid foundation of knowledge and skills in the TEFL graduates.

Asian College of Teachers

I had so much fun when doing this course and would recommend it to anyone. It is really worth it even if you have a B.Ed Degree, because you learn how to make use of key word and body language while teaching.

I would also recommend this course for anyone else who never had any experience with teaching. The course gives a broad outline of how teaching needs to be when teaching English as a foreign language.

Thai salad with an amazing experience.

A warm experience with some people from different corner of the world, apparently with the same passion. Just contrast of various students teach you enough. Undoubtedly worth it.
The program subtely takes you to teaching world and the ways you can demonstrate a language to a person who has never heard of the language. It's the cheapest ride I could find, but definitely, if you want to get TEFL certified, it's worth it.
Speaking thai has been a personally a challenge, bit looking at the welcoming nature of Thai people, I don't think it will be hard to stay here for an extended period of time. I officially love Bangkok, Tefl and Asian college of Teachers.

What would you improve about this program?
The duration should have been a little longer...or else, this program does what it promises.
