Personal Development Course. Advanced Certificate of Educational Studies NQF Level 4

This CoT 80 hour course is the third of our Generic Short Courses and is aimed at those teachers who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the teaching of English as a foreign language and, at a later date, may wish to build on it to attain higher certification in TESOL itself.

Trainees are required to maintain a personal study portfolio to record achievements and to identify areas as "room for growth" that can be discussed with your personal tutor for later development.

This programme consists of 11 modules:

• Language Awareness 1,2 and 3 (including a pre-course global grammar overview)

• The Sounds of English 1,2 and 3

• The Practice of TESOL 1,2 and 3

• Lesson Planning 1 and 2

• A final response (3000 words) that compares and evaluates 2 theoretical views in a practical application (on at least one occasion) that reflects experience.
