Observed Tefl Certification

For nearly two decades ITTT has been at the forefront of providing high-quality TEFL/TESOL courses that can be studied in-class or online. As part of our commitment to offering the best possible training to our students we are constantly endeavoring to provide courses that meet the demands of the TEFL/TESOL industry. This has led us to develop a certification course with subsequent teaching practice (CTP). Our 150-hour CTP course is aimed mainly at unqualified teachers who require a practical teaching component with their certification but who are, due to geographical or time constraints, unable to attend a training centre in person. The unique benefit of the ITTT CTP course is that all parts of the course can be completed without the need to attend one of our training centres. You will...  [Read more]

At International TEFL and TESOL training (ITTT), we have over the course of many years introduced new standards of training and new material to the TEFL/TESOL industry. For example, many teachers say they are unable to attend a training centre to obtain Observed Teaching Practice (OTP). We have reacted to this problem by creating a new course that removes the travel aspect of obtaining OTP certification. The course comes with either 6-hours of OTP (30-hour certificate) or 12-hours of OTP (50-hour certificate), and covers three main areas in a logical sequence starting with lesson planning, lesson feedback and lesson evaluation. The second and third phases involve both the teaching practice itself and an interview style summary over Skype. Both courses may be used with a previous grammar...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Some English training centers will require newly hired teachers to observe classes for a certain period of time. During said time, the new hire can become familiar with the general culture and atmosphere of the institutions learning environment. The new teacher can then also learn the rules of the classroom that students are expected to follow. In some cases, the observed teacher may sometimes include the new hire in activities so that the students begin to feel more comfortable with the newly hired teacher. During this period of observation, the teacher can start to establish rapport with students not only inside the classroom but also in passing outside the classroom. During my experiences teaching at various training centers and universities in...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Observation is an essential element in the teaching-learning process. It is a powerful tool that is underestimated by some teachers, the fact which in its turn hinders the progress of the students and slows down the teacher’s professional development. Observation can be viewed from different aspects such as peer observation, self-observation, and observation of the students at the lesson. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Alina S. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. While conducting peer observation two questions may arise. What to observe and how to observe? Peer observation aims to assist your colleague in dealing with different problems that may appear in the...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas What if students don’t like me? What if I forget my planning and ruin the whole lesson? What if I trip and fall flat on my face? This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Lizelle K. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. What if this and what if that, these are the type of questions that go through a new teacher’s mind before they enter their first classroom. Stepping into a classroom for the first time can be overwhelming and a new teacher can easily feel lost when all the attention in the class falls on them. When studying to become an educator, be it for 3-year olds or 30-year olds, practical exposure to an active teaching environment is essential. The field of education is a...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences As easy as ABC non-educators assume the job is, do not rule out the fact that pedagogy in its real sense is technical, scientific, and artistic. My fear as an assistant teacher has not left me in a jiffy. It was highly challenging having the pupils adhere to my instructions. I would take a deep breath before carrying out a simple task such as handling worksheets to the pupils, putting pupils in line for outdoor learning, and supporting low ability pupils. I would require the input of the class teacher to get the pupils to cooperate. In light of my experiences with disruptive pupils, I would say to observe and to be observed with genuine, constructive feedback have a lot of benefits leading to teachers’ development.

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas The instructional lesson which was observed for this assignment was English as a second language classroom listening lesson. There were four students in the room during this lesson. These four students ranged in age from grades ninth through twelfth. Two students were male and two students were female. There was one instructor in the room. The primary teaching methodology used by the instructor in this ESL course was The Task-based approach to language learning. This instructor did well in explaining details, breaking down complicated topics, and conveying her message. But, she hindered her lesson by maintaining too stern of a tone for the duration of the class and maintaining no form of visual aid. This post was written by our TEFL certification...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina TEFL Information Alumni Experiences Teaching Ideas "Parents are the ultimate role models for children.

Henceforth let us take a look at some of the parents' education in the education of their children, then briefly look at some of the impact observed in students' attitude in an English class? Parents play many roles in education, and that role begins on the day of the child's birth (Although there are many studies out there that argue that it starts in utero).

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas There is no doubt that a teacher plays a vital role in the classroom. To become a good teacher, the teacher should pay full attention to their teaching and students’ learning. In particular, teachers serve many different roles in the classroom rather than just convey linguistic lessons such as Controller, Organizer, Assessor, Prompter, Participant, Tutor, Resource, Model, and Observer. Over the years, there are a great number of changes in the teaching approach along with the learning strategies. The classroom becomes ‘student-centered’ rather than ‘teacher-centered’. This will largely depend on which type of activity and what we wish the students to achieve. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Thao L. Please note that this...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences The role of a teacher is constantly changing throughout the day. The teacher’s role can be influenced by: the lesson, the students, and the circumstances that might arise during a classroom session. Teachers frequently perform various roles when teaching students, some of these roles include: instructor, facilitator, mentor, psychologist, counselor, and policeman.
