Who Is This Course For?

Perfect for aspiring and current educators looking to teach abroad or online.

What You’ll Learn

Become classroom-ready with practical skills you can use on day one. Each module blends clear theory, classroom-tested techniques, and hands-on practice so you leave with confidence—not just concepts.

1) Teaching Grammar, Vocabulary & Pronunciation

Master the nuts and bolts of English—and how to teach them clearly.

  • Present grammar with clarity using PPP/TTT and guided discovery.

  • Build vocabulary fast with context, collocations, and spaced repetition.

  • Teach pronunciation (sounds, word stress, sentence rhythm, intonation) using minimal pairs and drilling.

  • Correct errors tactfully (recasts, elicitation, clarification requests).

  • Adapt explanations for different proficiency levels and L1 backgrounds.

Deliverable: A 45-minute skills lesson plan (grammar or vocabulary) with target language analysis, CCQs, and practice activities.


2) Lesson Planning & Classroom Management

Plan lessons that flow and keep learners engaged from warm-up to wrap-up.

  • Set SMART objectives and stage lessons: lead-in → controlled practice → freer practice.

  • Time your activities and build smooth transitions.

  • Differentiate for mixed-ability classes; scaffold tasks step-by-step.

  • Manage behavior and participation (pairs/groups, instructions, ICQs).

  • Use routines, classroom language, and clear boardwork.

Deliverable: A full lesson plan with timing, materials, instructions, and assessment criteria.


3) Teaching Children vs. Adults

Adjust your approach to learner age, goals, and motivation.

  • For children: TPR, songs/chants, stories, games, visual routines, classroom rules.

  • For teens: project-based tasks, topics that matter, autonomy with structure.

  • For adults: needs analysis, workplace/academic English, problem-solving tasks.

  • Keep everyone safe and included: age-appropriate content and pacing.

  • Handle mixed ages/levels online and in person.

Deliverable: Two micro-plans of the same objective—one for kids, one for adults—showing how activities and instructions change.


4) Cultural Awareness & Student Engagement

Teach inclusively and build a motivating learning environment.

  • Foster intercultural competence; avoid stereotypes in materials.

  • Choose topics and visuals that reflect diverse learners and contexts.

  • Increase engagement with real-world tasks and student choice.

  • Give feedback that’s kind, specific, and actionable.

  • Build rapport, set expectations, and celebrate progress.

Deliverable: A culturally responsive lesson tweak (materials + rationale) and a feedback script for a common learner challenge.


5) Online Teaching Tools & Methods

Run smooth, interactive online lessons with confidence.

  • Structure live sessions (Zoom/Meet) with breakout rooms and clear timing.

  • Use digital whiteboards, slides, and collaborative docs effectively.

  • Balance synchronous & asynchronous work (forums, recordings, quizzes).

  • Troubleshoot common tech issues and keep momentum.

  • Create reusable templates for warm-ups, speaking tasks, and homework.

Deliverable: A 30-minute online lesson plan with slides/whiteboard layout, breakout room tasks, and an asynchronous follow-up.


Capstone & Portfolio (Optional but Recommended)

  • Micro-teach a 10–15 min segment and get structured feedback.

  • Compile a mini portfolio: 2 lesson plans, materials, and a reflection.

  • Map your skills to common TESOL job requirements (online platforms & schools).


After This Course, You’ll Be Able To:

  • Plan effective lessons with clear objectives, timing, and assessment.

  • Explain grammar and vocabulary simply—and get students using them.

  • Improve learner pronunciation with targeted practice and feedback.

  • Adapt activities for children, teens, and adults (online or in-person).

  • Teach engaging online classes using modern tools and templates.

  • Create inclusive lessons that respect culture and build motivation.
