FEATURES

Sequenced Modules

There are 10 Modules in the course, each divided into Sections.

Language in the Course

We’ve kept the language in the course as plain and simple as possible – just as you should do when teaching EFL/ESOL. There are no gold stars for teachers who use fancy language when teaching EFL/ESOL. It’s all about communication via plain and simple language.

Activities

We have included lots of activities which you can carry out with your students, so you’ll be ready to roll from Day 1 in your new job.  Also, we have included activities for you. These will come under the heading of Time to reflect.

Intentional repetition

There are a few times where we intentionally repeat some points because they are critical to your success. Remember: repetition is an excellent teaching technique.

Assessment

We don’t want to make a big issue about assessment. What we want you to do is to focus well on the content, and the assessments will take care of themselves. However, it’s only right to tell you what will happen.

At the end of each Module, there will be a Quiz. Each Quiz consists of 15 questions, covering the relevant Module, in a mix of multiple-choice and true/false questions. At the end of the Conclusion, there will be a Final Assessment, which will be in a similar format to the previous Quizzes. It will contain 50 questions. In total, therefore, there will be 200 questions. So, this is a very substantial and robust assessment process.

Please kindly note thay we’ll not be trying to catch you out. All answers are in the text. We want all of you to pass!
