8. Why complete a TEFL course. All careers need some training to ensure that tasks are completed to a satisfactory level. Teaching foreign students to speak English is no different. This requires special training that guides EFL teachers in the right direction with regards to teaching methods, techniques and requirements. A teacher may be fully qualified in conventional lessons and manages to successfully navigate their students to graduation but this is for their specialized field. EFL has its own requirements and teaching methods that need to be learnt and remembered. The TEFL course does just that. The TEFL course takes you from the beginning of how the teaching method was created allowing a teacher to understand the reason the techniques are being used and give clear explanations and lesson ideas. The E.S.A. Technique is the preferred technique for teaching EFL students. The course gives a step by step guide through each phase being the engage phase, the study phase and the activate phase. Teaching how to give each lesson the problems that may arise and a detailed guide as to what activities are suitable for each phase. This gives the teacher confidence from their very first lesson as to what and how they have to conduct their lessons. From the start the TEFL course ensures the teacher has a clear under standing of all the parts of speech, tenses, and many other parts of English grammar that need to be taught to the students. The TEFL course helps that new EFL teachers do not have gaps in their syllabus when teaching students due to lack of personal knowledge. New teachers are encouraged to be lively and fun to make classes enjoyable ensuring students will return to them for more lessons because of the enjoyable way they are gaining knowledge. New teachers who are unfamiliar in the teaching arena are taught what equipment is needed as well as the course books and teacher’s resources. With out doing the course new teachers would have a hard time sifting through reference material to find the newest and most efficient ways of getting lesson data to use. Lesson plans are an important requirement to all teachers. Without these lessons will be erratic, jumbled and with out a sequence to follow, making it difficult for students to reach goals and mile stones in their language studies. The TEFL course is the perfect solution to getting the necessary training and guidance to check students from the start of the lessons and compose customized syllabuses that will turn language learners into being fluent and confident communicators. New teachers are just as nervous as the students and having learnt what suitable troubleshooting solutions are available for different situations that may arise in the classroom allows the teacher to tackle these issues confidently and with the least amount of disruption to the class. Students can sense a teacher’s confidence and once they have built a good rapport with the teacher and have confidence in the teacher lessons thrive. From the evaluating process to lesson plans, activities, revision tests and much more are chronologically set out creating a pool of information that can only lead to a new teacher being confident and successful once they have taken the course completed it and passed.
