Great TEFL program

My experience with the TEFL program at the Language House was very positive. I learned a lot from this challenging course. As someone who has taught at the University level for years, I honestly signed up for the course wanting little more than the certification it would bring me. I quickly found out that there I had a lot to learn about the methodology of teaching English as a second language. The Language House provided a rigorous and extremely useful training that prepared me for the entirely different world of teaching English. The highlights were definitely the extensive amount of time spent teaching real Czech students, as well as the lectures on phonetics and teaching pronunciation, which were very professional and informative. The course was very well organized and ran incredibly smoothly. These people really know what they're doing given their 10+ years experience in this field. In addition to learning a lot, the TEFL program also had a great social aspect. I met some awesome new people, many of whom have gone on to become close friends. The school organized several dinners, pub nights and parties that were great fun and really solidified our class as a group. The support network in terms of finding a job, an apartment, dealing with visa issues etc is also very helpful. Finally the TEFL program was also very helpful and useful for me when I was interviewing for jobs at language schools. When I used some of the concepts and terminology from TEFL in my interviews, I could almost see the interviewers eyes light up, knowing that they were talking to someone who was well trained and prepared to teach. I interviewed at four schools and was offered jobs at all of them as a result.
