Thinking of doing a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA course? Well, read on, because this book is for you!
This book was written to pass on some useful tips and information to make your TEFL stress free! (well, relatively stress free!)
I learned a lot on my TESOL. One thing I learned was how NOT to do a TESOL! I went in completely unprepared with not only no teaching experience but also no grammar knowledge.
I always thought my English skills were quite good. After all, I’m fluent aren’t I? I'm a 'native' speaker. People always said I speak clearly and well. WRONG!!! Fluency, or having English as your native language is not the same as grammar knowledge. Can you vocalise the sounds in the phonetic alphabet? Thought not! Have you heard of a ‘schwa’ – no? well, neither had I! (It’s the most common sound in the English language, in case you’re wondering)
I decided to write this book because my TESOL course was one of the hardest and most stressful things I have ever done. It was also one of the best things I've ever done - and a lot of fun and very rewarding.
I completed and passed a 30 day full time intensive TESOL course with no prior teaching experience. Doors are now open to me simply because I have a TESOL qualification (as they would be if I had a TEFL or CELTA).
This is the book that I wish that I had before I did my TESOL. In it I share my essential preparation tips followed by a host of other tips to implement during your course to ensure your TEFL goes smoothly, without stress and according to plan! Good luck and enjoy the journey to your new life as a teacher!
