TEFL/TESOL Course
As part of your program, you will complete a four week TEFL International TESOL Certificate Course at our center in Alexandria, Egypt. This internationally recognized course consists of 120 hours of classroom instruction and a minimum of 6 hours of observed teaching practice. Graduates are currently teaching in over 50 countries around the world.
Arabic Language Training
While part of your day will be spent teaching in the classroom, the other part will be spent studying Egyptian colloquial Arabic. Egyptian Arabic is the most widely used and most understood dialect of the Arabic language. By studying this form of the language, you will gain the skills needed to communicate all over the Arab World.
We pride ourselves in our cultural immersion program, whereby learning does not merely take place in the classroom. Our students have the chance to practice their Arabic in authentic situations with the help of their teachers. A basic part of our course is dedicated to activities that aim to explore the Egyptian culture and practice Arabic in authentic situations. In a typical week, classes are taken four days and one day is dedicated for cultural immersion activities. You can also extend the language component throughout the year, so please inquire with our staff to learn more.
Teaching Internship Component
This is a wonderful way to immediately put your newly acquired TEFL skills to work. In the afternoons, interns will teach their own EFL classes, a maximum of 10 hours/week, to gain practical experience of the more advanced areas of teaching such as administrative issues. During this time you will be working closely with TEFL International’s teacher trainers in terms of lesson planning and teaching observation and feedback to assist you get real life teaching experience.
