Teaching English to children is an enormous market in the TEFL landscape, and one that is very different from teaching adults. This mini course will give an overview of the issues involved and practices useful for teaching children of all different ages ranging from 4 - 18 years old. During your mini course, modules will cover assessing children's development stages and needs, the physical classroom and behavior management in addition to developing age/level appropriate games, activities and teaching techniques.
Course Outline
We have developed the Teaching Kids English seminar in response to student requests and feedback. Students will attain a new skill set: how to teach English to non-adult learners. These skills will prove invaluable to TEFL Institute students whether they are interested in teaching in Latin America, Asia or Europe.
This course is conducted in TEFL Institute's virtual learning environment. Students complete a series of modules consisting of reading materials, assignments and quizzes focused on teaching kids English. Students will receive advice and feedback from their instructor throughout the course.
Each online course is led by a qualified instructor, each of whom has at least a Master's degree and over five years of TEFL teaching experience. Class size is limited to 14 students for optimal learning and interaction.
