TEFL and Italian Course Combined (Teaching English as a Foreign Language)
WHY TEFL?
ON A PERSONAL LEVEL: Becoming an English teacher will not only be a challenging and rewarding opportunity in itself, but also a means toward attaining your other goals. It gives you an opportunity to stay longer if you want more than a superficial tourist's view of a country by supporting yourself through teaching. Taking a TEFL course will also enable those interested in a teaching career to get some first hand experience in the field before embarking in graduate school. Pomezia certainly provides a genuine Italian living experience, facilitating total immersion into local culture and language.
ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL: If you choose to teach English overseas, your professional background will be greatly enhanced since most Companies and Graduate Schools value international experience and the knowledge of one or more foreign languages. People who have lived overseas, and in addition have learnt a another language, are able to offer an international perspective and awareness that is a significant advantage in the professional world. Whatever your ultimate career interests are, the knowledge and cultural awareness gained by living and working in another part of the world will be invaluable asset in the long-term.
THE TEFL PROGRAM
The TEFL Program is a 4 week, full-time course that meets Monday through Friday, for a total of 80 hours of instruction. The mornings are dedicated to teaching techniques and strategies; the late afternoons to practical teacher training through demonstrations, mock teaching sessions, and feedback. The TEFL certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the program, along with an assessment and reference from our school.
THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM
As an affiliate of the Dante Alighieri Institute, our TEFL program offers you an opportunity to learn Italian at any level. Upon acceptance in TEFL, you are tested for your written Italian language ability. Once in Italy, you are tested again for your oral Italian language ability and assigned a class based on your skill level. Students are given 2 hours of Italian language instruction for 4 weeks, Monday through Friday. The course will take place in the early afternoon. Upon successful completion of the course, students are awarded a separate Italian language Diploma. This course alone is equivalent to a semesters' worth of Italian in an American University.
COURSE EXPECTATIONS
Our TEFL program is intensive, challenging and demanding. In 4 weeks you will have had to gain a great deal of knowledge and use this to create coherent lesson plans to teach to ELF (English as a Foreign Language) students. You will have to cope with considerable demands on your time and energy, as the pace of the course requires endurance. However, the benefits acquired by training in a foreign country, especially Italy, which is reputed to be one of the most beautiful and vibrant country in the world for art, culture and entertainment are immense.
