TEFL Trainees who are based at one of our in-class course locations will be provided with a course manual covering the following areas:
- Language Awareness/Grammar
- Teaching Skills
- Classroom Management
- Phonetics
Our course materials are both comprehensive and unique. They are of an unparalleled quality and are used throughout the course during interactive discussion sessions. Students should also find these materials to be an invaluable resource when teaching in the future.
We also provide a course book and a range of materials that include an A4 folder which should be organised in the following manner:
- The TEFL Course Log
- Teaching practice lesson plan, materials & assessment

This log is designed to record the individual progress of each trainee throughout the course. It should be maintained in a neat, well organised manner and be professional in appearance.
