TEFL Hillandale Maryland

This course has given me an insight on what is required to be a good efl teacher. It has has made me aware of many aspects of teaching that I previously didn't know about. I believe that this well rounded course has given me a solid foundation of knowledge to build from for when I begin my teaching career. The theoretical elements I have learned from the course will make the transition to actual teaching a lot easier. I will file all the modules and keep them close by in case that I need to quickly reference them in class. I particularly found it interesting to learn about different theories, methods and techniques that could be applied to different lessons. I also feel that I have acquired many good teaching ideas that I could take to the classroom, especially in terms of ideas for the engage, study and activate phases. I look forward to developing these existing ideas into ideas of my own that are specially tailored for my own class. The most important thing I have gained from this course is a drive and focus on improving myself as an english teacher. I feel as if I have digested the majority of the information and I'm ready to test myself in a practical environment. The course has given me confidence to believe that whatever I set out in my lesson plan will be beneficial to the students I will teach. Despite being a native english speaker, I believe that I have gained a much needed refreshment on how to correctly use the english language. My use of grammar has never been brilliant, and this course made me realise how important it is to have a good understanding of grammatical systems and structures. I appreciate this is an area I can still improve on, and therefore I will continue to study hard in order to try and develop this particular aspect.
