Appropriate TEFL training for experienced lecturer?
Posted: 28 Dec 2013, 19:09
Hi all,
I currently work as a university lecturer (business studies) and have a Degree, MA and a PGCE, but would like to undertake TEFL training and work overseas for a while (or longer!).
As such, I would appreciate advice on the type of training which would be most appropriate, ie. I have significant teaching experience (plus training re: lesson planning, assessment, etc) and a Level 3 communications qualification (a while ago!), but need specific input on current practices and methods/tools for teaching English.
I'd also appreciate, if possible, advice on where to train - I live in the Midlands (UK). Would on-line training be appropriate, ie. would I benefit on the face-to-face sessions, or are they designed to develop general teaching practice for those who haven't done it before? All advice most gratefully accepted!
Many thanks...El :)
