Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The two
terms are generally interchangeable. A TEFL/TESOL

In-classcourses
ITTT works with TEFL International to provide
comprehensive, intensive four-week in-class training
courses.
n As the cost of living can be considerably lower abroad than
in many western countries, the centers at many of our
locations are able to offer their training courses at very
competitive prices. Savings made on items such as
accommodation, food, drink and entertainment during
the four weeks are additional benefits of attending the
course overseas.
n Trainees studying with ITTT have the opportunity to experience the feeling and atmosphere of living and working
abroad. As the centers are housed in the same buildings as language schools, trainees have a good opportunity to
see the way a language school operates and to meet and talk with experienced teachers actually working in the
industry.
n Trainees are 'on the spot' for any job vacancies (of which there are usually many) at language schools in the
country.
n The center provides a comprehensive career advice service and help with finding that crucial first teaching
position.
n The training center provides accommodation at a very low price to trainees who require this service. The
accommodation will usually be in a hotel, an apartment or pension shared with other teacher trainees or teachers
close to the training center.
n The course has a practical, 'hands-on' format, and provides the trainees with the actual skills that are necessary in
the classroom.
n International TEFL and TESOL Training has training centers in a number of attractive locations on every continent,
including Thailand, Spain, Italy, China, France, Australia, Egypt, Costa Rica, Vietnam…

Onlinecourses
ITTT offers a number of options for TEFL/TESOL courses that can be completed online via a series of tests. Trainees can
choose a course either with an online tutor who can answer any questions they may have and guide them through the
learningprocess,orcantheystudyindependently.
The ITTT online courses are open to anyone who has a native-level English ability, and include job guidance on
completion. They allow course participants to study at their own pace, in the comfort of their own home or even while
travelling. A TEFL or TESOL certification can be completed with little disruption to daily life, preparing graduates for their
futureteachingcareer.
Combinedcourse
For those looking for a more functional,hands-on approach to the online certification course, we offer a combined course
option. This is, in essence, the best of both worlds for those who cannot immediately make the jump from their daily life
intoafull-timeintensivein-classcoursebutwhowishtohavemorepracticalteachingpracticetime.
The combined course allows students to study the theoretical aspects of teaching and grammar, etc. followed by in-class
attendanceforbetweensevendaysandtwoweeksatoneofourtrainingcenters.
The online component allows participants time to absorb the information of the course content and gives them time to
prepare for the move abroad. Attendance at our training centers after completion of the online material then gives them
theopportunitytoputthisknowledgeintopractice.
Specializedcourses
International TEFL and TESOL Training has two specialized courses designed for teachers who are already TEFL/TESOL
certified:

the need to travel elsewhere. Participants complete several study tasks before planning, teaching and recording a series
of actual lessons using technology such as a mobile phone camera. Course work is submitted online which is then

The course is essentially practical and is assessed
continuously.
This is a typical course schedule (note that this is an example
and timetables will vary from location to location): In the
morning, there are input sessions on the skills and methods
of teaching. The afternoon /evening consists of teaching
practice (in small groups), lesson observation and lesson
preparation.Thecourseis,bynature,veryintensive.
Thecourseisdividedintosixareas:
1. ClassroomManagement
This topic includes classroom arrangement, resource
materials, maintaining discipline, giving instructions, the

Once the payment for your ITTT online course has been
received, you will be sent a username and password that will
allow you to log in to your course control panel. Here you will
find all the information you need to start the course,
includingfullinstructions.
Initially, the course introduction and unit 1 will be available
to you, with a task sheet at the end of the unit. You read and
absorb the material in the first unit and then complete the
task sheet independently. Once you’re happy that you’ve
understood the unit contents, you would then complete the
onlinetest.
As soon as you’ve submitted the test, the results for unit 1
will be displayed, and unit 2 will then become available to
you. This is how you proceed through the course, with your
overallscoregiventhroughout.
Technical assistance is available to all course participants,
and those that have chosen a course that includes tutor
support are able to contact their tutor at any time regarding
any aspect of the course they would like extra guidance with, or any TEFL/TESOL-related questions. Once all course units
have been completed with an overall score of 75% or above, you will be asked to complete a summative task. We will offer
you a number of TEFL-related alternatives for the task subject, or you can write about something of your choice, subject to
approval.Oncesubmitted,itwillbereviewedbyITTT staffwithinoneworkingday.

After successfully completing all course units and the summative task, you will be asked to confirm your postal address,

The course has been designed to allow for maximum flexibility. As long as you complete the course within six months of
first logging in, you can work at a pace that suits you. The maximum number of units you can work on per day is three, so
you could theoretically complete the course within a week to ten days. You should probably allow for about five or six
hoursperunit(onaverage)toallowyoutoreadandabsorbthematerial,completethetasksheetandsubmitthetest.
In order to get the maximum benefit from the course we recommend working on just a single unit per day. This will allow
you to complete the course in under four weeks and will give you time to understand the lesson fully and digest the

The course is divided into two main areas – teaching skills
and language awareness. The teaching skills component
provides details of the techniques and skills required by
teachers in the classroom while the language awareness
component gives a solid foundation course in English
grammar.
The course consists of either 20 units, covering teaching
skills, language awareness (grammar) and phonology, or 10
units covering teaching skills only. Course components are
carefully chosen and organized to ensure a gradual build up
of knowledge whilst not overloading students with too much
information at any one time. These units allow you to work

In addition, you will receive several post-course units with

The practice of Teaching English as a Foreign Language
often branches into specialized areas focusing on teaching
specific groups of learners. Worldwide demand for EFL
teachers qualified in these fields is increasing and ITTT is at
the forefront in preparing teachers with the necessary skills
to teach English to Young Learners (TEYL) and to Teach
BusinessEnglish(TBE).
The benefits of becoming certified to teach business or
young learners are many and you will find that holding such
qualifications not only improves your teaching ability but of
courseyouremployability.
Each of our specialized courses consists of modular units
and each course necessitates approximately 50 hours of
study.
The TEYL and TBE courses are designed for TEFL/TESOL and
equivalent certified teachers, and prior experience or
training in either field is not required to complete either
course.

OnlineTESOLDiplomaCourse(DipTESOL)Content
We organize our course into 12 modules. All modules with
the exception of the last require approximately 16 hours of
study – 175 hours overall. The last module is a research
based thesis, which generally requires 75 hours to finish. At
least 250 hours are therefore required to complete the
course.
The course requires a large amount of research, utilizing the internet and other resources to examine and develop your
own understanding of a variety of relevant topics. The modules cover a range of subjects including the historical
development of English language teaching, different approaches to course syllabus design, designing classroom
materials,studentassessmentstrategies,andclassroommanagement.
The ITTT TESOL Diploma course can be taken either with or without the support and guidance of a highly experienced
online tutor. The choice is entirely yours, although we recommend the tutored option for anyone who is unfamiliar with
independent distance learning. Whichever option you choose, we are confident that you will find the course interesting,

Online OTP Courses
Course Guide
TEFL
TESOL
The ITTT online Observed Teaching Practice (OTP) course is
mainly aimed at qualified teachers who require a practical
teaching component to their certification but are unable to
attend a training centre in person due to geographical or
timeconstraints.
How ouronlineOTPcourseswork
Uniquely all elements of the course can be completed
remotely without the need of any specialised technology.
Participants complete several study tasks before planning,
teaching and recording a series of lessons using something
like a smartphone camera. Course work is submitted online
which is then assessed by our course trainers. An added
benefit to this method of completing OTP is the range of
additional transferable skills employed by the course, such
as video recording, video conferencing (Skype) and portfolio
construction.
30-hourcourse&50-hourcourse
The course is available in 30-hour (six hours of OTP) or 50-
hour (12 hours of OTP) options which, when combined with
an online TEFL/TESOL certificate, provides full certification
for the majority of teaching jobs worldwide. The course is open to anyone with an online certificate from ITTT or elsewhere
as long as the certificate includes a minimum of 100 study hours and a grammar component. If you choose the 30-hour
course you will need to complete six hours of Observed Teaching Practice, a figure that is generally considered to meet the
minimuminternationalstandardrequiredfordevelopingagoodlevelofbasicEFLteachingskills.
In contrast, the 50-hour course requires 12 hours of Observed Teaching Practice which means you will benefit from
extensive classroom training that allows you to develop your teaching skills to an even higher level. This extra OTP will also
demonstrate to future employers that you are fully dedicated to becoming a skilled and knowledgeable teacher, and will
thereforeincreaseyourchancesofsecuringthemostsought-afterpositions.
Whichever course you choose you will have up to six months to complete all the course elements. On successful
completion of the course, not only will you have earned an OTP certificate but you will also have produced a portfolio of
