A featured Course for both Native and Non-native English speakers

A common question that many native English speakers ask is whether they need to pursue an English teacher training course in order to become eligible to get ESL jobs. The answer is yes, because even if English is their mother tongue, they still need to learn the technique and skills required to systematically teach English language. A lot of non-native English speakers also wonder if they can teach ESL and if they are eligible for the English teacher training courses available in the market. Well, most ESL jobs are usually open to both native and non-native English speakers.
An English teacher training course like the TEFL course is open to both native and non-native English speakers. A TEFL course trains aspiring ESL teachers on all the know-how required to teach English language to speakers of other languages.

The TEFL (Teaching English as Foreign Language) Certification course is the most popular TEFL course with both native and non-native English speakers since it is the minimum prerequisite that needsto be fulfilled to get teaching jobs abroad. The TEFL Certification course is a complete course on the modern technique and skills of teaching English. It helps a teacher to develop the basic language skills like speaking, listening, reading and writing skills and also building vocabulary. This course is intended for teaching young learners and therefore, involves understanding their psyche and planning courses and lessons accordingly. The lessons are executed in an interactive fashion to ensure maximum participation and better retention. The TEFL Certification course also covers the specific methods of teaching such as classroom management, handling of students and managing any crisis that may arise within a classroom. This course provides all the essential knowledge required for teaching English language and imbibes in a teacher a lot of self-assurance.


The TESOL (Teaching English to Students of Other Languages or Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) course is a more advanced course and is also available for both native and non-native English speakers. It is a complete course on the know-how of teaching the language of English. This course is elaborate but helps in preparing a teacher to teach adults as well as young learners. The obstacles in the way of teaching English to people born with a different mother tongue are many and varied. The teachers during this course are trained to teach the concepts of English language like grammar and comprehension. They are trained to develop the vocabulary and the basic language skills required for communicating in English. The expertise of teaching phonology, context and language modelling and communicative ways are all a part of the TESOL course. It helps a teacher to plan and execute lessons suitable for a specific trainee group. This course trains a teacher on the psyche of a trainee group comprising of people coming from different age groups, linguistic, regional and cultural backgrounds. The TESOL course is an all-comprehensive course that trains a teacher to teach mixed and large groups confidently and handle crisis that may arise in a classroom.
