The course follows a facilitated workshop process rather than simply being a course of abstract lectures.

Relevant areas covered include:

A significant portion of course time is devoted to micro-teaching which involves course participants in facilitating groups of their peer-participants in controlled activities which demonstrate valuable teaching approaches.

Note: Micro-teaching involves peer-teaching in the first language of the course group, (i.e. English).
In this way course-participants will develop confidence in their roles as facilitators in the EFL classroom, which demands an approach different from the one adopted in traditional, top-down teaching practice.

The intention behind this micro-teaching approach is to help course-participants develop the skills necessary for putting groups of people in active communication with each other. If the basic principles of this essential skill can be mastered with a peer-group then it will be easier to apply them in a group of EFL learners.
 

Participants who successfully complete the AOECT TEFL course will be able to:
 

Acceptance on the course is not automatic.  We do require that all students have English first language proficiency.  Tertiary education and/or work experience is essential.

 (Daytime Class: 09:00 ~ 15:30,   Evening Class: 17:00 ~ 22:30)
 

In the practical component TEFL students will observe experienced TEFL teacher at AOECT and teach classes under their guidance. TEFL students will receive feedback and monitoring to enable them to apply the theory they have learned to real-life classes
 

Material covered in this course will be: Korean culture; the educational environment and the school systems; methods of teaching used in Korean schools; basic Korean; practical teaching of Korean scholars. This is 20-hour course.
