The TEFL Academy

This course was well worth the time, effort and money. As someone who majored in a different field with no teaching experience, I found the content challenging and also useful. I was am able to refer back to the material even after completion for use in my lesson plans and teaching styles. It will take time and if you invest the time and effort into your assignments and to digest the content, it will equip you well for your first EFL job. I truly appreciate the level of detail and the supplementary materials provided within the course

Pros
  • Detailed feedback on assignments
  • Study at your own pace
  • Supplemtary material for extra study

Level 5 TEFL Course at The TEFL Academy

The Level 5 TEFL course offered by The TEFL Academy was an absolute game-changer for me. I've always been passionate about teaching and the English language, and this course just took my passion to a whole new level. I would rate this course a solid 10 out of 10, without any hesitation! The course is packed with valuable information that I feel has helped me to become a better instructor. The way the course is structured makes it easy to follow and understand, and it covers everything from lesson planning to teaching methodologies, from instructing receptive skills to instructive productive ones. The course even offered some insight into the cultural differences that I should be aware of while teaching abroad. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is considering a career in teaching English as a foreign language. It's an excellent investment for anyone who wants to improve their teaching skills and take their career to the next level. The TEFL Academy has done an excellent job in creating a course that is both informative and engaging.

Pros
  • Comprehensive: The course covers everything you need to know to teach English as a foreign language, from lesson planning to grammar.
  • Engaging: The course is well-designed and engaging. The videos, quizzes, and assignments kept me interested throughout the course.
  • Support: The TEFL Academy provided excellent support throughout the course. The tutors were always available to answer my questions and provide feedback on my assignments.
What other participants should know
  • Time-consuming: The course is quite extensive, and it can take some time to complete.
  • Limited interaction: While the course is engaging, there is limited interaction with other students, which can make it feel slightly isolated.
  • Limited practical experience: While the course provides a good theoretical foundation, there is limited opportunity for practical teaching experience.

Level 3 Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)

This was a really great course through which I was able to learn many new skills and develop ideas that I can now take into my teaching career. The depth of knowledge provided along with the range of resources allowed me to understand how to structure and properly guide lessons so that I could reach a point where I now feel confident to start teaching with any age or group of students. I am very excited to start my journey as I am taking a gap year and have decided to travel around South America where I hope to use what I have learnt in schools in various countries.

Pros
  • Develop confidence in teaching abilities
  • Large range of ideas and resources
  • In-depth understanding of how to structure and guide lessons
What other participants should know
  • Some parts felt like they were self evident
  • Navigating the website was sometimes frustrating having to go back to the home page to move on to the next topic

Intensive, challenging and rewarding

I found the process from the start, the On-line registration to the final submission of third and last Assignment and subsequent feedback a thoroughly professional experience. All steps
were clearly outlined and easy to follow. The only grey area I found was that I felt it was unclear as to the amount of material required in Task 2 of the the third assignment. Overall, I found the course very interesting and felt constantly motivated to progress through each phase. The Assignments were clever and relevant and a good test of my learning and the end of Unit assessments were a great method of consolidating the lesson learning outcomes.

Pros
  • Very well structured
  • Kept my interest throughout which motivated me to progress
  • Challenging Tasks
What other participants should know
  • Some parts of assignments were too prescriptive and didn't allow for personal input
  • It was difficult to judge the amount of material required in some parts of assignments
  • I can't think of a third con!
