It was great! The course was great

It was my first TESOL course and I really took it seriously but it gave me the opportunity to organize all the thoughts and experiences I had in my mind. Thank you so much, for also making it more accessible and self - guide. I would like to say there were some moments where I thought I was not gonna finish the course, but I had already done like 60%, and then I kept pushing until I finished it. The beginning is the biggest part of the course, the rest can be really well complemented with experience and patience.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
i would have finish it sooner
Pros
  • concise
  • relatively fast
  • rewarding experience
Cons
  • i would have liked more content!
  • more to read
  • and more videos

World TESOL Academy

The World TESOL Academy gave me the opportunity to get the TESOL/TEFL certificate I wanted for a very reasonable price. The website was easy to navigate; the lessons were clear, structured, and practical. It's a great option for anyone who is thinking about getting certified to teach in-person or online. Not only has it reinforced my memory, but it has also further expanded my knowledge. I am now looking forward to using what I learned during this online course to help my students achieve their goals.

Great learning program for non teaching professionals

This program helps me gain a broad understanding of how to teach English as a foreign language. With no teaching background, it helps me learn different methods of teaching, from beginner to advanced levels, especially for non-English speakers. It includes video demonstrations on how to present the subject, create lesson plans, and provides tips for teaching efficiently. I enjoyed every module, as it was simple yet informative. This program will be invaluable to me as I plan to pursue teaching in a foreign country.

Course Review

I really enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it to anyone. The structure of the course is easy to follow and self explanatory. The content is comprehensive and well laid out with all the information needed to start a career in English education. The addition of video's which give a glimpse into handling a class assisted my understanding greatly and was highly motivational. The 4 month time period that is given in order to complete the course is more than sufficient. The final exam was tough and the odd question is slightly unclear but still excellent!

Wolrd TESOL Academy — Perfect Certification for New Teachers

Compared to many other TESOL training agencies, I must say World Academy is the best for New Teachers. At least it's much cheaper.
First of all, compared to TKT textbook, World Tesol Academy's 120h course is compact and concise, but covering various aspects of how to teach. And you don't have to take an offline exam, so it's also cost-saving. However, since you can take multiple times to get a higher record of the quiz, and you don't need to give demo class or write any essays, I would say it's easier to pass the exam, thus to say, you won't have production training neither receive any feedback of it. So it's not as challenging as to pass CELTA. So I think it's your best first teaching certification.
Moreover, even if you have passed TKT, you can still learn something from TESOL. For example, you will learn how to teach online which is illustrated in a whole module but not mentioned much in TKT. Compared to some TKT textbooks, I would say TESOL is more updated.
Last but not least, you always have a tutor to ask if you have any questions. This is the most surprising part of the course. As a new teacher, you may encounter many problems while teaching, such as class management. Personally, I asked three practical questions which were not related to the exam, but I still received very detailed and helpful suggestions. I think this is the most valuable service for new teachers.
However, if you're an experienced teacher, I think CELTA or DELTA would be better choices.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising moment was when I received my first reply from Tutor Michelle. Her reply was so detailed and helpful even my question was not exam-related. I didn't expect that at all.

Great course

This course has really taught some insights information that we didn’t cover in university relating to teaching. From the things that helped me to develop my skills in teaching are how to motivate students in a smart way, create an engaging lesson plan according to students needs, and the most important one is, NEVER using the native language, but instead focusing only the target language, and using helping tools such as, TPR, flashcards, mimicking, and data shows for better understanding and engagement inside the class.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
It’s better for them to not only rely on the program, they will also need to interact with other people who speaks the same language, in order for them to learn better, and improve their accuracy and pronunciation of the words, and there are lot of apps and websites that give the chance to interact with different people around the world.
Pros
  • Helpful videos and insightful information.
  • Simple language and the lessons are to the point.
  • Quizzes are helpful to test your understanding and test what we learnt.
Cons
  • Focus only on multiple choices questions.
  • No videos on how to teach adults to see how and what way of teaching that better to engage with them
  • In Quizzes I think there should be a limit on how many times you should take it so learners can take every module seriously

Recommended for those who want to advance their English Teaching Careers

I would have to say that my learning experience at World TESOL Academy has been so worthwhile and rewarding because you can actually be able to learn so much about what it's like to be a teacher regardless of the subject that you are teaching in the school and you can also be inspired by the other teachers who have taught English successfully whether abroad or at home by studying how they usually teach their lessons to their own students. The certificate that you get is definitely worth the price

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don't give up on your learning progress and always enjoy teaching English like you are playing a game in front of your students. Don't be shy to ask for help whenever you need some advice. I know it can be hard to travel while teaching abroad but at least you have the freedom to do almost anything you want while doing the career that you always liked
Pros
  • Highly interactive quizzes to answer that will make you challenge your brain
  • All of the lectures are clear to understand by most beginners who don't have teaching experience
  • The final exam is perfect for those who don't want to answer a difficult exam
Cons
  • The certificate can get a bit too expensive to afford
  • There were only a few helpful videos to watch
  • Teaching Jobs can be hard to find

120-hour TEFL/TESOL course Review

I really enjoyed this course. It was very concise even though it covered a wide variety of aspects of teaching English. The first part helped me brush up on my grammar and I even learned things I hadn't known before.

I was born in the U.S. and have known English my whole life. It was really helpful reading through the lessons and learning different things that help introduce English to non-native speakers.

I also do not have much classroom teaching experience, so it was helpful learning about the different teaching techniques that a teacher can use in a classroom to help engage students and aid in subject retention.
