Feedback on the course

I loved the ideas that Claire came up with, the songs and games that she introduced were very useful. They are tried and tested, and I therefore have confidence that in my classes they will work. I also enjoyed Jane's sessions on building a teaching sequence and the comparison of different approaches. The course was fun and it was good to brush up on ideas and get some new ones.

Teaching Young Learners Extension Course April 7th- 9th

OxfordTEFL extension courses are aimed at:

Teachers who would like to build their practical skills and knowledge in teaching Young Learners

They are suitable for:

" Teachers in their first year of teaching

" Teachers who are teaching Young Learners for the first time

" Teachers who have recently completed a Trinity CertTESOL or similar course

Why an extension course?
An extension course can widen your job prospects and, equally importantly, give you extra confidence in dealing with specific challenges of Teaching Young Learners or Teenagers.
English Language Teaching is very diverse. There are opportunities to teach anything from a class of four year old children to a one to one with a business executive who needs coaching to improve his or her presentation skills. Some teachers, particularly in the early stages of their career find themselves doing both! Opportunities will vary according to where you work and your own preferences.
Employers are naturally impressed if you have some specialised training in key aspects of teaching Young Learners and/or Teenagers.

The course includes

1. Workshops with specialist trainers covering skills and materials for teaching Young Learners/ Teenagers.

2. Observations of experienced teachers

3. Project work and case studies to give you hands on experience of planning classes

4. On-line support from your course tutors

5. The opportunity to shadow a teacher at OxfordTEFL for half a day, observing and assisting classes and discussing them with the teacher

Course timetable

Face to face

The course is 20 hours, over three days, Monday-Wednesday inclusive. Timetable from 9.30am-5pm. The on line work will be in the following 3 weeks using our VLE*

On-line

The course is three weeks. You will use our VLE.* You will complete one module each week. You can choose when to work during the week, but expect to dedicate around 8 hours.

What is an on line course like?

On line and face to face courses are very similar. You will be with a fixed group of course partcipants, a team of tutors will lead and support you in tasks and you will work both individually and in teams. The VLE includes forums, links, tasks and opportunities to communicate with tutors and other course partcipants.
The timeframe for working is the main difference. Face to face learning happens in "sessions" or workshops which last one to two hours. On line we use modules which run for a week. Face to face training is synchronised , everyone participates at the same time. On-line learning is "asynchronist" , people participate at different times.
