The International Teacher
Training Organization is also providing the Teaching English to Young
Learners course, also well known as TEYL course.
The art of Teaching English to Young Learners is a specific skill which needs specific training to be performed effectively.
The majority of TEFL courses focus on teaching adults. This results in TEFL certificate holders who would like to teach children finding themselves without the necessary skills and ability to be able to teach Young Learners effectively.
The ITTO TEYL course aims at providing recently graduated EFL teachers or practicing teachers with the necessary skills, confidence and ability to be able to teach Young Learners to maximum effect.
The ITTO TEYL course provides a solid foundation in the methodology behind teaching YL. This foundation is consolidated with a combination of classroom observations and observed teaching practices.
With an ever increasing demand for TEYL certificate holders around the world, completing the course will give you the additional skills and qualification to Teach English to Young Learners anywhere in the world.
The course is open to qualified EFL teachers and those with previous teaching experience but no formal TEFL qualification. The course is also open to non native speakers of English who have reached a proficient command of the English language.
