Week Two
The second week of the course focuses on teaching speaking. This is a very important week because many foreign schools ask their native English speaking teachers to focus on improving their student’s spoken English.
- Students will develop a full speaking lesson, as well as a script detailing how they would present their lesson to an actual ESL class.
- Students will then get the opportunity to practice and develop their teaching skills by presenting their lesson to an instructor via Skype. Participants will present their lesson as if they were presenting the lesson to an actual group of ESL learners.
- The Skype lesson gives the instructor an opportunity to provide verbal feedback on each student’s ability to provide simple instructions, set up classroom activities, and maintain effective pacing during the lesson.
- Students will also receive detailed instructor feedback on their lessons.

Week Four
During the final week of the course, students will learn the most effective classroom strategies for teaching listening.
