Program Reviews

If you are thinking seriously about becoming a professional teacher teaching in Thailand or any other countries around the world, take this world-renowned TEFL course with Text-And-Talk Academy!

Not only will you receive excellent knowledge through the well-thought-out course materials, you will also receive wonderful out-of-classroom experiences. With great assistance from my trainers, I've overcome self-doubt and my self-confidence has increased tremendously. This life-changing 120-hour course is worth every penny.

I had a great experience taking the 120-hour course at Text-And-Talk Academy. Before taking the course I had no teaching experience or an understanding of how to teach in general. This course taught me all the skills necessary to become professional and highly effective trainer for multiple age groups and English proficiency groups.
Some of the skills I learned were how create effective and fun lesson plans, adapt myself to multiple English proficiency groups and age groups on the spot. At the end of the course I saw myself develop into a professional trainer full of confidence and I was able to extend that confidence to my students who wanted to speak English.
I have also recommended this course to multiple colleagues of mine, and their feedback have been positive all around.

Before taking the course, I have done a few teaching jobs here and there. Teaching is not necessarily difficult, however, without any real knowledge of teaching and the skills involved, it can be hard and stressful to teach in a fun, interactive, and supportive manner.

From this 120-Hour TEFL course provided by Text-And-Talk Academy, I was able to experience, first hand, a real classroom of students to practice with. This allowed me to see what my weaknesses were and take any supportive learn a number of skills and bring out the best in me to fulfil my students' requirements in the class environment. Skills such as:
1. presenting myself in a professional, yet fun and friendly manner
2. dressing to impress but not overly professional (this may deter Thai students from opening themselves up to you - which is a key part of getting them to communicate and interact)
3. lesson and material preparation to help me reduce the amount of time I need to create highly effective lesson plans that can clearly and easily convey the target language to any learner group
4. managing any feelings of nervousness or fear from teaching in front of a class or audience
5. allowing myself to adapt to to mixed age groups and/or mixed English proficiency groups on the spot
and many more skills.

This course has allowed me to develop into a highly professional and effective English trainer and from the hundreds of students I've taught since taking this course, all have developed more confidence when using English and had fun doing so.
