About the TEFL Course

A TEFL certificate is an initial qualification for teaching English as a foreign language. The TEFL Worldwide Prague TEFL course offers quality training, both theoretical and practical in nature, and provides you with an excellent insight into EFL teaching methods and language awareness as well as supportive teaching practice with students at all levels. This is an intensive and challenging yet rewarding and enjoyable TEFL course. Previous teaching experience or a second language is not required for the course or for teaching English abroad. Be prepared to work hard as alot of material needs to be covered during the 4-weeks. Again it's intense but it's also alot of fun and the trainers make it a very valuable experience.

Throughout the TEFL course each lesson is supplemented by informative worksheets, tips and suggestions as well as a list of useful titles for further reading.

In addition, our trainers, who are highly qualified with 20 years of experience between them teaching English abroad, are always available to offer lots of support and advice with the selection of appropriate materials, coursebooks and supplementary worksheets to create enjoyable and engaging lessons for your students.

The teaching methodology lessons, during our TEFL course cover a variety of topics including teaching vocabulary, error correction, classroom management, one-to-one teaching and the use of coursebooks, authentic materials, video, and computers in the classroom.
