This Practical 30 Hour TEFL Course (Virtual) trains you HOW TO teach English to non-native students from a practical perspective and provides you with actual teaching practice!

Teaching English to non-native students means that you’re teaching students who have NO English ability. This makes it difficult to communicate with your students because your words have no meaning to them. So how do you actually teach them, without using words? This course provides all the knowledge and skills you need to practically teach non-native students, preparing you for the reality of teaching TEFL/TESOL.
