The course also reviews the most important grammar rules, and provides a number of teaching techniques, focuses on teaching productive and receptive skills. How to organize a lesson, manage the class, work with different groups, build a rapport with students, – the TEFL course has all these tips. Moreover, there is tons of helpful links to the internet sources, where you can find books, lesson plans, games, FAQs, many creative ideas.
