TEFL Courses

This page deals with the sorts of things you might learn on TEFL courses. I’ve been teaching English for about 15 years now (Oct. 2006) and this serves as a bit of prepping for a couple of advanced TEFL courses that I one day hope to do such as the DELTA and perhaps a Teacher Training course as well.

My personal links to sites I frequently use

Why you need a program - The key to becoming a better teacher and to getting and keeping your own company clients / students is to come up with your own programs.

DevelopingTeachers.com - Of course, there are already some websites out there which do what I'm just starting to do (in my own way) quite well.

Some activities for teachers to use in their classes in Spain:
(All individual English teachers have permission to use the activity in their own English classes while the logo of MadridTeacher.com is kept "as is" in plain sight.)

A Typical Day - Present Simple - Elementary
Print the video-activity text in pdf format: Print A Typical Day Lesson. Note that though the main focus is the present simple, there are also a lot of other linking words (until, so, so that, etc.) that some students might find a bit overwhelming at an early stage in their "present simple" education, also Victoria Fontana (In-company and Private ESL classes) speaks clearly in the video, but a bit fast for beginners.
Right-click and select "save target as" to download the video: Victoria's Typical Day - 10 Mb and the MP3.

My Spring Trip - Past Simple - Elementary - pre-int.
Print the video-activity text in pdf format: Print My Spring Trip Lesson. Note that though the grammar in this activity is simple enough, there is a lot of vocabulary.
My Spring Trip WMV video 45 Mb.

Mr. Bean Goes to Church - Present Simple - Pre-int. plus.
This is a video-activity that I made that has worked really well in every class that I've used it in, and there's not a word of English spoken in it! The focus here is on the third person, phrasal verbs and verbs plus prepositions. Insist on your students telling the story using the phrases given so that they can practice using this language.
Print the activity in pdf format: Mr. Bean Goes to Church.
Oh, and by the way, it's up to you to find the video. I have a link to my personal bookmarks page above.

Last Photographs - Narrative tenses - Advanced.
Print William Christison's (Companies in Madrid) article-activity in pdf format: Print Last Photographs. Note that though the grammar in this activity is intermediate level, there is an incredible amount of vocabulary.
(Right-click and select "save target as" to download: MP3)

Video-activity - Past simple vs. Present Perfect - elem to PI
Print Real English have done vs. did Lesson associated to this video on Youtube. RealEnglish.com has a lot of other videos that are good for students to watch, plus they do have a better pay version.

On HeadsUpEnglish.com you'll find complete English lesson plans and materials for upper-intermediate and advanced learners. The materials are based on current events in the news - what you tend to talk about with your English students: Heads Up English.


Obviously, there’s a lot more to TEFL than this or I wouldn’t even bother in the first place. What's more is that I'll vary the topics depending on what inspires me at any particular time. Finally, I don't pretend to re-invent the wheel with this and whenever I see good things out there on the web or in print, I'll certainly refer to them.
