Curriculum
56 Lessons120h
MODULE 1: Foundations of EFL/ESL Teaching
This opening module sets the scene for the entire course. Trainees explore the landscape of English language teaching globally, examine key methodologies that have shaped modern practice, understand the CEFR proficiency framework, and get their first structured introduction to each of the five language skills. By the end, trainees should be able to describe what effective EFL teaching looks like and locate themselves within the global profession.
LESSON 1.1: What is EFL / ESL / TESOL?
LESSON 1.2: Major Language Teaching Methodologies
LESSON 1.3: The CEFR Framework
LESSON 1.4: Introduction to the Five Language Skills
Part 1 — Module 1 Quiz
Part 2 — Written Reflection
MODULE 2: English Language Awareness & Grammar for Teachers
Teachers don't need to be linguists, but they do need to understand how English works well enough to explain it to learners in simple terms. This module covers the essential grammar, vocabulary, and phonology knowledge that underpins confident EFL teaching. Trainees also learn how to handle learner errors constructively — a critical skill for the classroom.
MODULE 3: Teaching Speaking & Pronunciation
Speaking is often what learners most want to improve, and yet it is one of the hardest skills to teach because it happens in real time with no chance to edit. This module equips trainees with a toolkit of speaking task types, strategies for managing fluency vs accuracy tensions, and practical pronunciation teaching techniques grounded in the phonemic chart.
MODULE 4: Teaching Listening
Listening is the skill learners often find most challenging — real English is fast, filled with connected speech, and comes in a bewildering variety of accents. This module demystifies listening instruction, teaching trainees how to select and exploit materials, build learner strategies, and design lessons that genuinely develop comprehension — not just test it.
MODULE 5: Teaching Reading
Reading in a second language is complex — learners must decode unfamiliar words, navigate different text types, and bring cultural schema to bear on meaning. This module gives trainees the tools to teach reading as an active, strategic skill, not just a comprehension test.
MODULE 6: Teaching Writing
Writing is the most cognitively demanding of the language skills because it requires simultaneous control of grammar, vocabulary, structure, coherence, and purpose. This module gives trainees three complementary approaches — product, process, and genre — and practical techniques for scaffolding writing tasks and giving feedback that genuinely helps learners improve.
MODULE 7: Teaching Viewing & Visual Literacy
Viewing is the newest addition to the language skills canon and the one most closely linked to the 21st-century learning environment. Learners today consume vast quantities of visual information — yet rarely are they taught how to 'read' it critically. This module gives trainees the frameworks and practical tools to teach visual literacy alongside the four traditional language skills.
MODULE 8: Lesson Planning & Syllabus Design
Great teaching begins long before the classroom. This module treats lesson planning not as bureaucratic paperwork but as the creative act of designing effective learning experiences. Trainees work through multiple lesson plan frameworks, design lessons that integrate all five skills, and build their understanding of how individual lessons fit within a larger course.
MODULE 9: Classroom Management & Learner Psychology
A perfectly planned lesson can fall apart without effective classroom management. This module addresses the practical, psychological, and interpersonal dimensions of managing a language classroom — from seating arrangements and instruction-giving to understanding what motivates learners and how to respond when things go wrong.
MODULE 10: Specialisations, Assessment & Career Development
The final core module brings everything together and looks outward. Trainees learn how to assess all five language skills fairly and meaningfully, explore the major specialisations within the EFL field, and prepare the professional materials they will need to land their first teaching position
BONUS LESSON: AI for English Language Teaching
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping language education faster than any previous technological shift. From AI writing assistants to pronunciation apps and lesson-generating tools, teachers who understand how to use — and critically evaluate — AI have a significant professional advantage. This bonus lesson is practical, ethical, and immediately applicable to your classroom.
