TEFL Course
Each Skylark TEFL Induction Course is recognised and approved by the EFL Monitoring Board and the Ministry of Education in Malta, and developed in terms of Legal Notice 60/96.
Skylark TEFL Courses have also been recognised in many language schools around the world for employment purposes, most especially in countries where no official national TEFL qualification exists. Past participants on Skylark’s courses are presently working in various European countries, in South America and in Asia.
The TEFL Induction Course introduces participants to and gives practice in modern teaching methods. The main content of the course focuses on methods and techniques to help language learners communicate (speak, listen, read and write) using real-life, useful language. Participants are also shown ways of teaching communicative grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation in a learner-centred, interactive classroom. They practise these techniques throughout the course. Lesson planning and other areas of TEFL are also dealt with. The main areas of grammar and phonology terminology are also covered.
