Our
TEFL/TESOL Trainees have a maximum of 9 other TEFL/TESOL
colleagues in the class with them which contributes
to our very friendly atmosphere. Teaching real students
begins from day 2 of the Course and there is teaching
practice every afternoon from 1:00-4:30pm (in addition
to other onsite teaching experience), so Trainees
receive a lot of essential real teaching experience
which makes starting their teaching career all the
more of an easier transition. On ITTP international
TEFL/TESOL courses teaching practicum isn’t
limited to just 1 type of classroom training - trainees
teach different learner levels/ types.
There is heavy emphasis on varied teaching practice
experience and in addition to scheduled training
center General English teaching practice sessions
there are also a significant amount of additionally
observed and unobserved scheduled teaching practice
lessons at local prestigious businesses in the center
of Prague, such as Tacoma and Zivnostenska Banka.
The local Elementary School at Stare Mesto, faculty
school of Prague's Charles University, is one school
where our trainees have the opportunity of teaching
Young and Very Young Learners. Here, our trainees
are observed by leading English teachers in the
field, such as Ms Mgr. Vuckova who was awarded the
title English Teacher Of The Year 2006 (awarded
by the European Commission EU, NA Socrates).
This makes the transition from classroom training
to paid teaching a very smooth and natural process.
