Teacher training

"Just English allowed me to get the TESOL certificate while teaching through the e-TESOL online programme. With no prior teaching experience, the course helped me prepare, navigate, and improve my class lessons. There are many helpful contents provided with each module, for example, demo lesson videos, sample lesson plans, handouts, quizzes, exercises, and more. Additionally, having online discussions with my coach after completing each module helped elicit and clarify information from the course. Lesson planning was one of the assignments in this course; feedback on where to improve and what was done well would be provided after each submission. These lesson planning assignments were one of the most helpful parts as learning to write a proper and effective lesson plan made teaching in class, both in-person and online, flow more smoothly. Overall, I would say the course helped improve my teaching experience in 2020. Although I'm not currently teaching, I do see it as a beneficial investment for my future."

"I found the online course for Tesol with Just English, very interesting with some challenging chapters and rewarding feedback. Assignments were corrected quickly, with constructive feedback and to the point, always positive and motivating. The eTesol course has helped me understand my students better and helped me to see how I can structure their course to make their learning more fun and fruitful. As for the assistance and general help of Just English services and staff, I found them excellent. They were very patient and switched on. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found that the online Tesol program with Just English to be wonderful in all aspects."

"Although I am not a teacher by profession, I have always been curious about the teaching of English as a subject. The pandemic season provided respite and the time I needed to explore the TESOL certificate course offered by Just English. As lockdown pretty much ruled out all possibility of on-site classes, I was pleased to learn that Just English offered the option of doing the course online through its E-TESOL Certificate program. Lessons were conducted for 13 weeks through a simple Learning Management System (LMS) which comprised video lectures, topic hand-outs, online quizzes, exercises and assignments. More importantly, the personal one-on-one Zoom weekly discussions with a lecturer assigned for each topic was significantly helpful to fill the gaps that may otherwise occur in the absence of classroom time." "For me, the TESOL certificate course works well as an introductory program to equip me with the basic principles and skills required to teach English – from grammar, reading, speaking, writing to tips on how to manage a class. The lecturers provided valuable insights and were essential to guide me in producing good lesson plans. Truly, this has been a worthwhile investment of time and money."

"The TESOL program has provided me with a solid foundation in teaching English as a second language. However, it has also provided me with useful skills for the teaching process more generally. While developing a curriculum for an entirely different subject, I structured my lessons in a manner similar to the format used in our TESOL lesson plans. I was able to apply the techniques I learnt to my own classes, much to the benefit of my students." "I also greatly appreciated my interaction with the tutors via Zoom. All of these people are experts in their subject, and provided much useful feedback. They also took a genuine interest in my own professional life. I am particularly grateful to Josephine Teo, who was instrumental in helping me facilitate my practicum. She reviewed my materials both before and after my lessons, and took time out of her busy schedule to discuss my lessons with me. My lessons with Rachel were also beneficial, as she gave me a deeper insight into the process of teaching the TESOL syllabus. I wish Josephine, Rachel, and all my tutors the best of success in their future endeavours."
