OBJECTIVES

The Trinity Certificate in TESOL is designed to give trainees with little or no experience of teaching English, but who have a high level of competence in spoken and written English, the necessary knowledge as well as the practical teaching skills to be able to teach it. (This applies whether English is the first or second language of the trainee.)

By the end of the course trainees are able to enter employment as teachers of EFL, confident in their teaching skills, their knowledge of language and in the background of the EFL profession. The course emphasizes the awareness of the teacher's role, as it is the teacher who sets the standard and the tone in the classroom. The supervision of trainees concentrates on the teacher's responsibility to understand the extent of his/her power, to be aware of the dynamics of the teaching process and how to relate to the students.
 

DURATION

The training runs from February to November. The course begins with an intensive introduction of 20 hours per week during the first month, followed by ongoing Saturday classes of 16 hours per month until the exam in November. During the initial period trainees receive a special introduction to Paraguayan culture and learn what makes it such a unique and wonderful country.
