A Four-Week Intensive Course

We provide you with a 4-week intensive course, including 57 hours of input sessions, over 12 hours of lesson preparation help, at least 6 hours of observed teaching, at least 6 hours of observation practice, 12 hours of feedback / critiquing experience.

The daily schedule is divided up into theoretical input classes and workshops in the mornings, and practical sessions in the afternoons, including lesson planning and materials production, observation of experienced teachers, teaching practice, peer observation and feedback sessions.

International Accreditation

The course is externally validated and moderated by IATQuO. The qualification is internationally accepted and well regarded by the international TEFL community. IATQuO assessors will evaluate and monitor the content and quality of our syllabus, teaching methodology and assessment procedures during regular visits.

Students will receive a numbered certificate on successfully completing the course.

TEFL (sometimes also referred to as TESOL), means Teaching English as a Foreign Language and a TEFL certificate is the major qualification required to teach English abroad. There is a huge demand for teachers around the world with opportunities in almost every country.

Job Guidance

We offer our students professional careers guidance both during the course and afterwards.

We prepare you for your interviews and give you advice on how to present yourself to a French employer or a French company.

All of our trainees who want to get employment in Paris generally get appointments for interviews during the last week of the course and often get jobs within a week of the end of the course.

Teaching Practice

We consider this to be the central component of the TEFL course around which all other elements revolve. The other aspects of the course are designed to enable and support the learning process, which is generated by the teaching practice sessions. The 60 hours of the teaching practice component encompass: observation of experienced teachers, peer teaching, teaching French students, peer observation and trainer-led feedback sessions.

All trainees will be asked to do between 9 hours and 12 hours of teaching practice depending on the size of the group. Class size varies from single students, (one- to- one classes), through small groups of three or four, to groups of six to ten learners.

Course Assessment

All assignments and observed teaching practice are assessed as well as participation in the theoretical sessions and workshops, and overall professional development on the course. The assessment of teaching practice is continuous, meaning that, above all, the final grade will reflect your progress in teaching. This grade is also based on your ability to reflect on your own teaching and that of others.

Those having difficulty with any particular task will be given tutorial help and an opportunity to resubmit work. Written and oral feedback will be given after each observed practice lesson. Trainees will be expected to have achieved a satisfactory standard in all areas, including teaching, by the end of the course.

The TEFL Paris course is assessed as follows:

◊ Teaching Practice ◊ Grammar & Phonology Tests ◊ Unknown Language Journal ◊ One-to-One Assignment ◊ Professionalism

50% 20% 10% 10% 10%

Successful trainees receive an official certificate, numbered and stamped by our moderating body, IATQUO, showing completion of the course and success in achieving the qualification. You will also be issued with a detailed letter reflecting the level you reached on the course and which you can sho to employers if you wish.
