1. Bookmark this page

Save this page in your "Favorites" so you can easily find it again.

2. Read these directions

Read ALL the directions BEFORE you do anything. Read all the way to the bottom of this page THEN go back and start your course.

 

3. Watch the videos, listen to the audio podcasts and read the materials on these pages:

Read the pages in the Teaching Skills and TEFL Skills pages on the website.  You can find these sections on the  menu at the bottom right of each page. See below:

Read the Teaching Skills pages first in the order they are placed on the menu in the right sidebar of that page.

Then read the TEFL Skills pages in the same order - top to bottom.

Review the downloads on all these pages.  For some of the longer downloads, just review for the main ideas.

4. Listen to the podcasts related to each page

Ten of the TEFL Skills and Teaching Skills pages will have a podcast to go with them.  You can play the podcasts directly from the PODCASTS PAGE or you may download them and play them on your device. They are simple mp3 files.

Some people find it easier to listen to the podcast related to a webpage FIRST. The podcasts are informal and conversational explanations of the topics.  They are typically only 5-6 minutes, though two are 16-18 minutes.

5. Please note:

Consider the materials we offer to be reference materials. You do not need to memorize everything here.  It works best to familiarize yourself with the concepts and vocabulary from all the pages and go back to them when you need a more detailed perspective.  Get the BIG ideas first and then go back later and get the details.

The most important of all pages and concepts?  Teaching Methods for EFL and TEFL Lesson Planning.

6. Done!

No tutoring or certificate is provided with the free course, but once you have reviewed the materials above, you have sampled a good portion of our 60-hour TEFL course, TEFL Fundamentals.
