Language Awareness

A chance to travel the world, meet new people, experience different cultures and make the world a better place - Teaching English as a Foreign Language is all this and more. So what's stopping you?

If your answer to the above question is your shaky knowledge of English grammar, then don't worry - you're not alone. This is an issue that can make stepping into the classroom for the first time a nerve-racking experience and even deters some potentially excellent EFL teachers from pursuing their dream career.

Thankfully, that's where Notting Hill College's Language Awareness Course comes in. This thirty-unit distance learning course has been designed specifically to meet the needs of both trainee and experienced teachers who feel that their English grammar knowledge is not up to scratch. So you can rest assured that there is no longer any need for you to fear English grammar.

The NHC-LA Course caters for both native and non-native speakers. We recognise that it's often native speakers who struggle the most to get to grips with all the grammar jargon required by the TEFL profession, while non-native speakers who have learnt English by living in an English-speaking country may face the same dilemma.

In effect many EFL teachers eventually end up learning grammar on their feet in the classroom, since few teaching certificate courses have time to include a crash course in such an extensive area.

NHC-LA is quite the opposite. The course is exceptionally thorough, providing full coverage of the essential areas of English grammar and more. The course materials are exclusive to Notting Hill College and include the tailor-written 200 page NHC Language Awareness grammar reference book, which will stand teachers in excellent stead for the rest of their TEFL careers.

As a distance learning package, NHC-LA enables trainees to grapple with the course materials at their leisure, whether before, after or during any other TEFL certificate programme. Moreover, Notting Hill College's experienced team will be on hand to provide extensive e-support and all the guidance you need to get the better of English grammar, giving you the confidence to focus entirely on your students' needs.

In NHC-LA, Notting Hill College presents a teacher training solution that deals head-on with one of the pivotal issues facing EFL teachers. Now it's up to you to start being part of that solution.
