Teaching Practice Certificate
 
Why follow your distance studies with observed teaching practice?There is no substitute for teaching practice. But it makes sense to do your teaching practice following a thorough introduction to the theory behind good TESOL practice. If you want to be fully prepared and confident of your classroom management you would be well advised to consider the Teaching Practice Certificate. INTESOL is the first TESOL/TEFL training provider to offer its Cert TESOL trainees studying by distance learning the option to take a full week of observed teaching practice. We have subsequently been able to develop a practice that will significantly enhance your skills and confidence not only in the classroom, but also during job interviews.INTESOL and The Association of British Language Schools (ABLS) have formed a partnership in order to provide students with the facility to complete a teaching practice at a fully accredited centre. All INTESOL Teaching Practice Centres are accredited by the Association of British Language Schools. As the only TESOL training provider authorised to offer teaching practice programmes with ABLS accredited English language schools, INTESOL offers you the unique opportunity to gain valuable observed and assessed teaching practice within a quality, controlled environment. ABLS schools are recognised by the UK authorities in exactly the same way as schools connected to the British Council. ABLS requires prospective schools to pass an initial inspection, covering legal requirements, premises, management, academic standards, teaching and learning, resources, student welfare and social programme. However, the world of English language teaching is very dynamic and ABLS believes that up to date accreditation requires further inspection every two years. Make sure if you are registering for a Teaching Practice that it is taken in an accredited language school. The only accrediting bodies for private language schools within the UK are ABLS and the British Council. If the school is not accredited by one of these two accrediting bodies, it is an unaccredited school. Following the INTESOL Certificate in TESOL by distance learning, you are invited to attend one of our centres for a full week of teaching practice. Trainees, who have been taught how to manage classes and set up one to one teaching sessions; have been given a sound introduction to materials and visual aids production and have gained confidence in planning lessons, are given the opportunity to observe experienced teachers and to produce a portfolio of lesson plans and observation assessments. Our trainees are then observed teaching several levels, both in groups and on a one to one basis, and are awarded a graded Teaching Practice Certificate. During your teaching practice you will:
For 8 hours per day, Monday to Friday you will be involved in observation, lesson preparation and teaching. By the end of the practice you will have completed at least 6 hours of observed and assessed teaching practice which satisfies the British Council requirement.
