TRAINING FOR YOUR TEACHING PLACEMENT

At Travellers we believe in the value of training and through our training division (TEFL Time) offer you a choice of courses to increase the effectiveness of your placement and make the most of your time out there. Training will also increase your confidence and give you the chance to chat with a seasoned Travellers volunteer.

Your trainer is Paul White, a qualified teacher, trainer and ecologist who has travelled the world and has taken part in four Travellers projects as well as visiting first-hand many more. (read his biography). The courses take place in London (Kings Cross) which is convenient for national travel links and has lots of great accommodation. You have a choice of two courses: The TEFL weekend course or the one day seminar.

1. TEFL WEEKEND COURSE

The TEFL qualification (Teaching English as Foreign Language) is a valuable, professional and internationally recognised tool for people wanting to teach English abroad. A TEFL understanding will considerably improve your confidence and effectiveness as a teacher. It is also a lifetime qualification which will...

  • MAXIMISE YOUR JOB POTENTIAL

  • ADD WEIGHT TO YOUR CV

  • HELP YOU TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Change your life… in just one weekend!

Weekend TEFL courses are known throughout the world and many of our participants have gone on to get further voluntary or paid work in destinations worldwide. Everybody is welcome on this course and all Travellers volunteers get a generous discount!!

The content will include:

  • Essential teaching strategies

  • Confidence building

  • Techniques for teaching overseas

  • What to expect when volunteering

  • Motivating students in your classes

  • Lesson planning and effective delivery

  • Classroom management

  • Two teaching practices

  • Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking

  • Course booklet and textbook

  • Next steps

On completion of the course you receive a certificate and letter of reference stating the material you’ve covered and the skills you’ve gained.

After the weekend you can also continue your training with an optional distance learning course if you wish. This will go into greater depth and introduce topics not covered on the weekend course. During the courses you will submit two written assignments. When you have completed both the weekend and distance learning courses you will receive the TEFL 100 hour certificate. Travellers volunteers get a discount on the distance learning course as well.

More about these courses can be found on our TEFL division website: www.tefltime.com. But don’t forget – you will get a generous discount on the prices shown on that site. As a Travellers volunteer you will pay only what is shown on the bottom of this page.

2. INTENSIVE 1-DAY TEACHING SEMINAR
This is an alternative to the TEFL courses for those who do not want a certificated qualification. It is only available to Travellers volunteers.

Seminar Content: This will provide 8 hours tuition, giving an introduction to most of the topics mentioned in the weekend TEFL course above, plus one teaching practice. A training booklet (but not textbook) is provided for you to keep.

If you can participate in one of these courses, it will add substantially to your preparation for your placement and may also enable you to meet other volunteers doing their placement at the same time and in the same place as you.

“Hi Paul, I often think of that Saturday when I was so apprehensive about the venture I had somehow stumbled into!! You'll never know how worried I was about my ability to cope…especially as everyone else seemed so capable. However, it has turned out to be the best thing I ever did and you helped me so much. You encouraged me and gave me a real boost. I absolutely love it here in Kenya, I am living the African life and I have so many new friends. I am so excited about the new involvement and very thrilled that I was even considered. I never could have imagined the change in my life in the last 8 months, I'm a very different person from the one you saw at the Thistle Hotel. I feel younger (hope I look it!), have put a little weight on and am so very happy. Thank you to everyone at Travellers Worldwide, special thanks to you, Paul.”  Travellers Volunteer Angela Cotton who attended the Teacher Training Day - she was also selected to be interviewed for a feature in Good Housekeeping Magazine.
