TEFL CERTIFICATE Course Components The one-month TEFL Certificate program is designed to give you the tools you need to teach English successfully overseas or here in the US. This hands-on course focuses on practical training and consists of the following components: 1. Teaching Techniques: The main focus of this course is on acquiring a set of useful teaching techniques that you can use when you teach English here in the US or overseas. Through a series of lively and interactive sessions, you will experience these techniques first hand. 2. Classroom Experience: A significant portion of this course will be devoted to visiting and taking part in real ESL (English as a Second Language) classes in Boulder County. This will include not only observing professional teachers in action, but also leading activities, teaching lessons, and assisting in the classroom to gain invaluable practical experience.  For teaching practice, trainer feedback will be provided. 3. Peer Teaching: In addition to classroom experience, you will also have opportunities throughout the course to try out teaching ideas, activities and lessons on the other course participants. In this way, you will be able to get useful feedback on your teaching ideas in a non-threatening environment. 4. Foreign Language Experience: You will have several lessons in an unknown language taught solely in that language. This will put you into the role of a beginning language learner and will help you understand some of the basics of teaching and learning a foreign language. 5. General Grammar and Phonology: As an English teacher, it is important to understand some general grammatical and phonological functions as they relate to teaching English. 6. Second Language Acquisition Theory: Although this course is practical in nature, some exposure to second language acquistion theory will be included in order to provide participants with a basic theoretical background.  Why get certified?
