Teaching Children English

Children are full of energy and need to be kept busy. Most teaching positions will usually come with textbooks, but most other creative materials/activities will need to be provided by you. This course will teach you how to develop your own ESL classroom activities for children. This is a hands-on course with improving classroom practice as the the goal, rather than a pass or fail objective.

Teaching English to Adults

Adults are voluntary learners with unique needs and individual learning requirements. They demand to learn quickly and effectively. They pay for their lessons and choose to be in the classroom, as opposed to children who have to be there. This course explains the unique aspects of teaching English to adults.

 

Teaching  Adolescents English

Teaching a classroom of teenagers requires the use of a combination of creativity, flexibility, and explicit structure. The dynamics within these classes are quite unique. Teachers will be faced with a group of students who may be shy or outgoing, motivated or lacking enthusiasm. These students are beginning to encounter more responsibility, while sometimes still being treated as children. It is important at this stage for the teacher to create a comfortable atmosphere where students can enjoy the language and make use of their creative abilities in self-expression. Adolescence is a tender age and the teacher will have a powerful impact on how these students view learning English.

Building from your already established foundation as a Certified TESOL Teacher, the Graduate TESOL Course goes into more detail, covering topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, methodology, student/teacher feedback and evaluation, educational technology, designing a syllabus, the history of the English language, and problem-solving for the ESL/EFL classroom.
