TEFL certification Spain with SpainTESOLCourse
Description |
| |
|
| The
5-week 130-hour course is taught by individuals trained by the prestigious
university, the School for International Training, or S.I.T. The course
provides participants with an opportunity to develop new skills with
the help of experts in the exciting and growing field of TESOL. |
|
|
|
|
| The
innovative course curriculum was designed by S.I.T. faculty, based
on humanistic, experiential and progressive teaching methods. The
course provides practical training through teaching demonstrations,
lesson planning & analysis, practice teaching and feedback. Participants
develop skills in teaching, speaking, listening, reading, writing,
grammar and culture. The course begins with a brief look at second
language acquisition through the experience of being a learner. Participants
then examine specific teaching areas each day, which they apply in
their daily practice teaching of adult ESOL learners. Participants
gain skills in analysis through examining their lessons with S.I.T.
teacher trainers. One unique aspect of the course
is its use of rigorous reflection. With the reflection skills learned
during the course, a teacher can keep learning and improving for a
lifetime. |
|
| |
|
| The
S.I.T. TESOL Certificate
Course focuses on three main areas: |
|
| |
|
| Learning
Participants engage in a language-learning experience in order
to explore the relationship between language learning, teaching and
aspects of second language acquisition from the point of view of the
learner. This experience provides the foundation for the examination
of teaching practices. |
|
| |
|
| Teaching
Participants examine the theory and practice of planning, teaching,
grammar, culture, and assessing lessons in the four skills (speaking,
listening, reading, and writing) through experiential activities,
teaching demonstrations, discussions, lesson planning, materials development
and readings. |
|
| |
|
| Classroom
practices Participants put their new knowledge and skills
into practice through daily teaching sessions. Trainers observe and
facilitate feedback sessions after these lessons. Participants learn
to reflect on and assess their own teaching as well as to examine
the teaching of their peers. |
|
| |
|
| Course
Goal:
By
the end of the course each participant will be able to plan, teach
and evaluate ESOL lessons.
This is reached through four major components of the course:
1. Daily Workshops
2. Lesson Planning
3. Practice Teaching / Feedback
4. Assignments
Daily Workshops focus on different Modules. Day
One's Module is the Learning Process. Day Two
looks more at Learning and introduces the Teaching
and Groupwork Modules. Thereafter, the Learning and Teaching
Modules make up a part of every day through the final course
day, Day 20, while the Groupwork Module makes up a part
of every day through day 19. In addition, each day from Day 5 on
includes one or two other Modules: Speaking, Listening,
Grammar, Reading and Writing. Other areas covered
include Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Error Correction, Using Songs
in the Classroom, Classroom Management and Culture Awareness. Approximately halfway through the course a grammar consultation, referred to as the Grammar
Conference, is held. In the final week of the course a Special Topics
Seminar is held covering areas such as Young Learners, English
for Special Purposes, Business English, etc.
Lesson Planning and Practice Teaching activities
begin at the start of of week two. They are then part of the daily activities
of each subsequent Monday through Thursday. Each participant receives
from 10 to 20 hours of trainer supported lesson planning time, according
to his or her need. Approximately 20 hours are spent in practice-teaching
classrooms. This is time spent practice-teaching to students as
well observing peers practice-teaching. Participants may practice-teach
anywhere from 5 to 8 lessons, depending on different variables,
such as the number of participants in a course. In addition to the
20 hours spent in practice-teaching classrooms, time is spent in
feedback with participants and trainers after each teaching-practice
session. Time spent in feedback totals at least 10 hours. Outside
of the teaching-practice sessions, there are times when participants
teach "mock" lessons to their peers for additional practice.
Assignments include prepared lesson plans for each teaching
practice lesson taught, written essays, a language analysis paper
as well as reading and commenting on various articles from the field
of ESOL.
