3. Teaching Practice & Observation
This is the most practical and fundamental aspect of any TESOL/TEFL course. Our trainees conduct 6 observed teaching practices, covering young learners and adult students. One-to-one tutoring is also covered in the 4 week period. All teaching practices are conducted with local Vietnamese students, which makes the experience authentic and rewarding.
Our fully qualified trainer will guide you through the process of planning, preparation, delivery and reflection, and will provide you with constructive feedback (both written and oral) on your performance.
4. Materials Project
All trainees must develop and submit two sets of self-produced teaching materials used during their teaching practices. The materials may include flashcards, class handouts or worksheets. Trainees are required to develop original materials. During the last week of the course, you will be asked to present your teaching materials, explain how they were used, how they could be improved, and how they might be used in another context.

There is no final examination. Assessment is ongoing throughout the TESOL course and is based on the following areas:
