The failure of the traditional approaches to reach the desired proficiency level of learners had led to the formulation of the TEFL methodology. By the middle of the 20th century linguists, educationists and teachers realized that language learning was not based on language knowledge alone. Language is a functional skill and therefore learners must have the opportunity to use the language as much as possible.

The TEFL course in e-learning mode by Asian College of Teachers is based on Communicative Language teaching and the theories of Second Language Acquisition. The TEFL methodology is all about replicating the natural progression of language learning.

Some of the major components of our TEFL methodology are:

  • Teaching Listening and speaking skills based on activities in English instead of Rote memorization of unrelated dialogues.
  • Teaching reading based on specific principles
  • Using authentic and meaning language for real situations.
  • Selection of authentic material according to the students’ interest.
  • Focus on writing as a process rather than a product
  • Using music and theatre as essential ways to teach language
  • Emphasis is also on group work and peer evaluation instead of only teacher assessment.
  • Well planned and graded lesson plans.
