Online TEFL course

My experience with TEFL Masters was really enlightening. I watched a couple of videos on teaching English a while ago but figured it looked kind of basic. Having completed this course, I kind of realize I was naive as there's so much to learn. I only took the 120 hours option but this definitely made me feel like there's a lot more out there waiting for me to learn. I feel like the course has helped me get the basics and some stuff that's a bit more advanced down, but it's left me aware that teaching English isn't going to be a big vacation.

The course itself is really nicely structured so that you get introduced to ideas in what seems like a logical order. Halfway through, you meet the idea of lesson planning, which by that point isn't scary because you've covered half of the grammar and management theory, so I really liked that. Really, the course just seemed to take theory and make it more interesting by forcing you to answer about how and when to use bits of knowledge. To me personally, this was what made this the most valuable takeaway. When I read other reviews, I got from it that there's a lot of information given, so that didn't surprise me so much. I learned so much but I put that down to the number of questions and how they were asked in context.

To conclude, I found this course highly useful and practical. Staff were awesome throughout my experience and I finished with a sense of learning lots but knowing I still have lots to learn on the job (hopefully in Thailand!!!). For those looking for a course that teaches you how to teach English with a more practical edge to how you're assessed (though it's not practical in the sense of actually teaching, unfortunately, just in how your mind has to get into context) then I absolutely recommend this course.
