The Enjoy TEFL 120 and 180 Hour courses will cover the following units, which will be assessed in the form of self-marking activities and written assignments, which will be assessed by external tutors.
The sequence of sections is crucial for building knowledge and then applying knowledge to the learning environment.
Enjoy TEFL has designed the course so that you understand the basic principles of ESL, learn teaching skills, learn grammar, and learn how to plan and then apply all your knowledge to teach grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing.
We feel positive that getting the knowledge first and then applying it will give you the most confidence on your first day of teaching.
