Combined Spanish - TEFL Course

In our special combined programme, we offer our TEFL trainees the opportunity to learn and/or improve their Spanish in a 2 or 4 week course. If you are teaching in a foreign country, some knowledge of that country's language and culture can make your life easier and enrich your experience. As we offer job guidance in Spain, it is extremely useful to have at least a basic knowledge of the Spanish language.

After finishing your Spanish course you continue with a fulltime 4-week TEFL course.

A TEFL certification is the standard, internationally recognised teaching certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. This course is an internationally accepted English teacher training programme which provides you with all the required skills and knowledge to work successfully as
an English teacher.

Course content:

• Theories of language learning.
• Lesson planning and material development.
• Learning styles.
• Teaching pronunciation, listening, reading, writing, speaking.
• Teaching grammar.
• Error correction and giving feedback.
• Evaluation and testing.
• Classroom management, equipment and teaching aids.
• Motivating students.
• Observed teaching practice with groups and individuals.
• Effective resume writing and interviewing.

Assessment and evaluation
There is no final examination. You are evaluated on class participation, assignments and teaching practices.

Job guidance
Although unemployment is high in Spain, there is a big demand for English teachers. Spain’s population suffers from a backwardness in terms of mastering the English language and people need to improve their English in order to find a good job in Spain or abroad. Besides Spain, with a TEFL certification you can teach worldwide and there are many job vacancies for English teachers around the world.
As we assist you in finding a job, you will learn how to write a CV and to conduct job interviews efficiently. We will provide you with a letter of recommendation and with a list of schools offering English teacher vacancies both in Spain and in other countries.

Our TEFL teachers
Our trainers have at a minimum a Master’s Degree in the field of English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics, hold advanced TEFL teaching certifications and have years of international classroom teaching experience. They have on-going professional development and are required to annually renew their certifications.
