8th April 2008 - Latest news from Chiang Mai University

After a short break, The Language Institute Chiang Mai University is proud to announce the recommencement of their prestigious LICMU 120-hour TEFL Certificate Program. Starting 26th May 2008, candidates will be able to enjoy the highest level of teacher training at its facility at Chiang Mai University.
 
With The Language Institute CMU now offering two different TEFL programs (TEFL International Program) at its facility, many will be asking what the major differences between the two programs are.
The TEFL International Certificate Program focuses on teaching younger students (primarily aged between 12-16 years old). This course is aimed at people who are interested in hands on practical teaching (as you would in a Thai classroom), or for those who have already been teaching, and would like the TEFL Certificate. With the TEFL International course, candidates will base their teaching approach on two styles - the basic and expanded models. These two main models have the aim of giving confidence to new teachers when they enter the classroom, which will allow them to build a rapport with the students for the first time. Secondly, it will provide various tools and methods to help facilitate student interaction in a classroom.

The TEFLCMU Certificate Program is aimed at teaching university students, with a more theoretical approach to teaching. It is aimed at candidates who would like a TEFL, but would also like a sound theoretical, academic and research approach to teaching. In this course candidates will study different methodologies including: PPP, TBL, CLT and ESA. This course aims to provide a base for being able to teach courses such as: academic writing, TOEIC, and TOEFL Preparation classes, or any other university English level program - such as we teach at The Language Institute.
For people interested in signing up for the TEFL International Course at LICMU, please visit us at our facility located at CMU for further information (www.teflintl.com).  Candidates wishing to enroll for the TEFLCMU program can do so online at www.teflcmu.com  or email us at: enquiries@teflcmu.com.

27th June 2007 - Latest news from BEST TEFL

TEFL International in association with Sikkim Manipal University has launched a unique Bachelor of Science in Language Teaching (BScLT) degree course. This course not offers a graduate degree but also develops the skills of language teaching equivalent to the TEFL or TESOL program. So with one course the students will cover two most important qualifications of an English language teacher – a degree and TEFL training.

TEFL International is the largest teacher training organisation in the world and its TESOL course is recognised worldwide, while Sikkim Manipal University or ‘SMU’, is incorporated under the State Legislative Act of the Government of Sikkim. It is recognized by the Ministry of Human Resource Development - Government of India.
SMU's Degrees/ Diplomas/Certificates are recognized by all members of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and are at par with Degrees / Diplomas / Certificates of all Indian Universities/Deemed Universities/Institutions.

The Course, Bachelor of Science in Language Teaching, is designed for those who have successfully completed 12 years of schooling (10 + 2 pattern) or equivalent as defined by the local Government.
The three-year degree course is a combined course on English Language, Literature and a teaching degree. Distributed across 6 semesters, B.Sc.LT is a comprehensive program of Grammar, Literature, Communication skills, philosophy, psychology, economy, education, school management and practically all those significant aspects that a teacher needs to consider and develop as a complete professional. A student can take up to maximum of 6 years to complete the course.

This Degree course has flexibility of not only studying online but also phasing the study. The student can study from home and at his own pace. At the same time the student can choose to earn a 2-year Diploma qualification on completing Semester I – IV in case he/ she has to opt out midway through the course. A successful conclusion of Semester 5 & 6 makes the student eligible for the final certification. The exit qualification here is the degree of BscLT. Each semester carry 16 credits which add to 96 credits for the entire course of 6 semesters.
