This course offers a thorough examination of the principal theoretical and practical dimensions of teaching English as a second language. It successfully addresses core pedagogical issues while providing a wide range of high-quality instructional materials. The scope of the resources is particularly noteworthy and demonstrates a clear commitment to informed, research-based practice. The lessons are carefully designed and applicable to a variety of instructional contexts, making the course both rigorous and relevant. If continued access is available, I anticipate returning to several of the lessons and materials, as they constitute a valuable resource for ongoing professional development in the field of ESL instruction.

The 120 hour course is something I’ve wanted to do for many years but unable to for various reasons/commitments etc. I’m delighted to have now completed the 120 hour course. The resources were excellent and each module detailed and interactive. It also made me re-evaluate how I learned my first language and how I may be able to help others. Excellent experience.

My journey with the TEFL Institute of Ireland was illuminating and intellectually enriching. However, I found the grammatical component somewhat elementary for my level and would welcome a more advanced and in-depth treatment of complex structures and nuanced usage.

Hello Folks

I have just finished the course and would like to let you know how much I enjoyed doing it. The modules ten in all, are self contained and informative. The accompanying voice with the slides makes the learning process a pleasure. All I needed was a notebook and pen to jot down key words or remainders. The short quizzes at the end of each module re enforces what you have already learned. I hope in the future to use my new skills to either teach abroad or on-line, that will become clearer as time progresses.
