Welcome and Introduction
Welcome to your TEFL Universal Accredited 80-hour Teaching English Online (TEO) Course. Note that we have abbreviated Teaching English Online to TEO in this course. Based on our long and successful experience in Teaching English Online (TEO), we have designed this exceedingly practical, high-quality course for you.
It is a high-quality, modern, and practical online course, as it should be. There is so much to learn. By absorbing all this material, and then putting it into action in your virtual classroom, we have no doubt you will be a competent and effective online teacher. So, don’t miss anything out and don’t complain about its length!
For us, practical insights and tips are much more important than theory. Of course, theory underpins some aspects of teaching. However, when you start teaching English online, it’s these kinds of questions that will be in the forefront of your mind:
- How do I plan a lesson?
- When should I do this?
- What should I do next?
- How can I introduce this?
- How do I know they have grasped this?
- What should I be focusing on?
- How can I do this better?
- How can I keep up their motivation?
- How can I build rapport swiftly?
Our approach will center on what works effectively in practice. We have one overriding goal: to ensure that you will be as fully prepared as you can be when stepping into your teaching English online role on Day 1.
Course Content
There are 7 Modules in the course. We feel it’s best to tackle the Modules in order as we have aimed to ensure that the Modules build on each other in progression.
We’ve kept the language in the course as plain and simple as possible – just as you should do when teaching English online. There are no gold stars for teachers who use fancy language when teaching. It’s all about communication via plain and simple language.
Remember, repetition is an excellent teaching technique. There are a few times where we intentionally repeat some points because they are critical to your success.
