Language is a skill and it is acquired and retained in meaningful context. The TEFL teacher training gives the teachers the skills and knowledge to contextualize language teaching and therefore be prepared for English teaching jobs abroad and all over the world. The Communicative Language Teaching is the base of all TEFL courses. However teachers need to be aware of the needs of their learners and model their teaching accordingly. The needs, interests and levels of the learners vary vastly. Therefore the Diploma Program specialization module caters to the specific teaching context. One would not teach young learners the same way as one would teach adults.
The Young Learner course prepares the teachers for an interactive and high energy class. It is designed for teachers who are willing to teach young children in schools. The YL course of Asian College of Teachers contains 5 phases and it is the ideal way to prepare oneself with the tools and techniques of teaching young children whose attention span is limited and style of learning is very different from that of an adult. The YL course informs students about the various methodologies of language learning and acquisition and teaches them with practical application of theories in real YL class. The YL teachers need to know the mind and the learning ability of their students for their lessons to be effective in class; and the YL course of Asian College of Teachers equips its students with the right tools for the job. The Asian College of Teachers 's methodology being primarily focused on teaching how to apply one's knowledge in class and make learning fun and exciting is very proactive and enhances the creative skills of the students.
On the other hand the Business English program is an ESP class and demands a different method and approach. It prepares the business English teacher to conduct effective need Analysis, design curriculum and evaluate return on investment. The BETT course includes needs analysis or how to correctly identify the needs of your clients and tailor a course that would best suit them. The course equips teachers with the skill to customize the materials available in the market for efficient in class teaching. The course covers all aspects of Business English teaching and prepares the candidate to effectively teach adult professionals using appropriate lesson models and learning tools. They also learn about the types of evaluation and the most effective style of giving feedback.
The BETT or Business English Teacher Training course has 8 phases and at the end of each phase MCQ assignments are given that need to be completed and submitted within a stipulated time. A teacher who has successfully completed TEFL Diploma course with specialization in BETT would have excellent job prospects as corporate trainers.
A methodology is effective only when it has practical application and the Diploma TEFL methodologies are just that. The focus here is on making language applicable and practical. Present day teaching is not about delivering lectures and mouthing theories it is about providing trainees with a practical teaching experience. Asian College of Teachers ' endeavor is to do exactly that- prepare the teacher with strategies to plan lessons efficiently for every level - and conduct classes with ease and confidence.
The TEFL Diploma course is definitely a comprehensive teacher training program and thereby requires more time. The full duration of the program is 220 hours or 12 months.

The candidates can complete the course within 4-5 months if they devote more time towards the course. The Diploma module, which involves research and self study, will take a major portion of the time period allotted.
