I can’t imagine jumping into my first job as an English teacher in China without the kind of training provided by Oxford TEFL. I completed the course at the Prague location in June 2013, but have waited to review the course until after I had some time in my job to determine how well it has prepared me.
I’m not sure I could imagine having a better experience for CertTESOL training. I was extremely pleased with the course in all facets. I found the instructors personable, fun, knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, and motivating. Though they were all different, the diversity in their approaches to the ELT classroom made the experience rich. Their feedback on the practice teaching was one of the most important parts of the course. Having the opportunity for high-quality English teachers to give you pointers on your own lessons is worth the cost of the course in itself. All of the instructors had helpful insights that I believe have made me a much better teachers.
The course covers a lot of ground in a few short weeks, but it moves fast. The content is largely introductory/summary of what you need to know as a English teacher but it sets you up well for advancing your knowledge and skills as you begin to teach in a job. I have found that the course gave me a strong foundation to build upon even as I continue to learn how to teach! The course is largely set up to prepare you to teach in a generic private language school classroom with a handful of motivated students, which is important to know if you plan to teach in a different context. I teach in a university in China where I have 40 students per class, where I only teach speaking, where the students are graded, and the classroom is a small auditorium. This means, there was a lot left for me to adapt and learn on my own.
My fellow trainees were a blast to get to know as well, which only made the course that much more fun! Prague is pretty awesome itself so that’s a major plus too.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested.
