Be Certified as an English Language Teacher

I was already an English Language Teacher but not skillful before taking the TEFL course. The course refined my teaching techniques like a refined product. It equipped me with the essential teaching tools making me a proficient and skillful English teacher. My students look forward to my class because they always have something new to learn in a dynamic way.
I applied the recommended classroom management in my kid’s class. The result was excellent. The kids became more participating and cooperative. Some of the kids’ parents asked me for extra class for their kids I guess because they can’t get enough of me.. This has made my teaching career refreshing, rewarding and easy.

One of my favorites is the way tenses and grammars are taught in the course. It shows the practical approach to teach them and the real life situation to use them making the knowledge sink into the students consciousness. For example in unit four, I learned the usage of simple present tense and expected errors from students. The activate teaching stage is exceptionally useful and wonderful, it helps the teacher to guide the students to practice the present tense using tips such as : find someone who..., a day in the life of.., questionnaires, guess my professions, information-gap. With activities like these students talking time is maximized. My students no longer view grammars as complex, vague, confuse language rules. I feel contented, satisfied and accomplished when my students tell me “you are the best teacher” and I am indebted to TEFL with infinite gratitude for this.

The points covered in the course will make teaching easy and enjoyable even to a novice teacher if applied. It particularly shows how you can plan and deliver your lessons in the classroom. It shows you the step by step way to deliver a topic using activities and tasks that will make the lesson dynamic and and boredom free. With these tasks (cutting of papers, roleplays, gap filling, short questions, conducting surveys, find who etc) there is an active students participation in the language learning making it to be fun instead of the conventional boring lecture type. For example in unit 16. I learned the types of conditionals and that we could cut the various conditional sentences and mixed them together for students to practice their use of conditionals.

I like the part of the course that talks about various classroom situations and how to manage them (Unit 20, Troubleshooting). It discusses warmers which actually work wonders in the classroom. Reluctant students is another one and other real life classroom situations and how to handle them successfully. Kids class are the most difficult class to manage, but with this course it becomes a piece of cake.

After taking the TEFL course, the language institute where I had been working for two years previously in Mexico quickly notice the positive changes in my performance, couple with students positive feedback, I was immediately awarded the best teacher of the month among more than 30 teachers.
Due to the overwhelming impact of the course in my life , I have referred more than five people who successfully paid for the program. I will remain an active promoter and a staunch advocate of TEFL courses.

The TEFL program offers not only a certificate that is known and respected worldwide, but also a professional teaching refinement to make one a capable teacher even those from non education background like me. That is why schools worldwide use it as a recruitment benchmark. Besides the TESOL certificate is a visa to tour the world with dignity because you have something important the world need.
