Why join the Toowoomba TESOL class?

The Toowoomba TESOL Classes are delivered via blended learning. This means students benefit from the support of receiving face-to-face classes, combined with the flexibility of online learning to complete guided assessment tasks outside of class time. Different delivery styles suit different people. Some people enjoy attending classes rather than fully online delivery because they want to:

meet and interact with other people in the area
build confidence through participating in classroom discussions
set aside a specific day, time and location to study
learn collaboratively through sharing ideas, thoughts and opinions
get motivation by being a part of a group working towards the same goal

Practical Placement

As part of the course, you get to take part in a practice teaching experience in a real life English as a Second Language (ESL) setting. During your placement you observe an experienced trainer teaching English to speakers of other languages, then actually plan and deliver your own English as a Second Language (ESL) lessons. This is so that you can put the theory of the course into practice and develop your skills as an ESL teacher. Your teaching will be observed by a qualified and experienced ESL teacher who will be able to provide you with feedback and support to help develop your teaching ability.

During practical placement you will get to:
✓ See an experienced ESL teacher in action
✓ Get tips about ESL teaching strategies and techniques
✓ Gather lots of ideas for ESL lessons
✓ Learn to identify English proficiency level/s in classrooms
✓ Test what delivery style works best for you
✓ Apply what you learn in the course to real life situations
✓ Teach your own ESL lessons
✓ Get feedback on your ESL lessons and teaching style

Cert IV in TESOL students complete 12 hours of practical placement (observation & practice teaching). Diploma of TESOL students complete 20 hours of practical placement (observation & practice teaching).

We won't charge you extra for practical placement - this is covered as part of your training with us. At the end of the course, we want you to feel confident in your ability to teach when you enter an ESL classroom.

To attend practical placement, you may need to be willing to do things such as:

Travel some distance each week to the organisation that you will be doing your practical placement with.
Take some time off from work each week or for a short period sometime during your enrolment in order to attend your practical placement.
