The International TESOL Diploma
What Sets It Apart?
IELTS training — the International English Language Testing System, is taken by millions of students worldwide to prove their English proficiency (over 4 million tests taken last year). Due to such high demand, there is a huge shortage of IELTS classes and trained teachers. Most ESL students will need to take the IELTS test in order to:
- Get a good job in their home country
- Get a promotion or pay rise in their home country
- Get into further studies in their home country
- Study other courses overseas
- Obtain a residency visa in an English speaking country
- Apply for a job in an English speaking country
How Does IELTS Training Set You Apart?
TESOL Australia’s IELTS Teacher training will make you a highly sought after teacher by potential private students as well as ESL schools online and overseas. This training includes (7) exclusive Online One-on-One hour sessions with a specialised Cambridge IELTS Trainer.
Undertaking an official IELTS test at an IDP Testing Centre, costs a student approximately $395. Once the test has been completed students must wait around 2 weeks to receive their results in the form of an IELTS ‘score’ in bands of 0 – 9.
Students never receive their actual marked test, leaving them without any guidance and feedback about how their test score was calculated and what was incorrect. This means that in each of the 4 test sections, students are left with no knowledge whatsoever of what they are doing wrong.
As a result, students have no idea about what they actually need to improve in order to gain the test result they require.
This situation leaves students desperate for accurate guidance and individual ‘needs specific’ IELTS lessons. Being able to provide that IELTS guidance and offer individually specialised lessons will set you apart from other ESL teachers/tutors.
How Will You Be Better Equipped?
As a TESOL Australia trained ESL/IELTS teacher, you will have the edge in skills and knowledge as the vast majority (possibly 90% or more) of ESL teachers do not have IELTS training in how to:
- Administer and Score mock IELTS tests
- Create detailed reports on students current IELTS ability
- Create detailed reports on what is needed for a student to achieve their required test result
- Teach IELTS classes
- Private tutor IELTS
- Put together a needs specific program of IELTS study
Achieving a good IELTS test score is considered a ‘life-goal’ for many students, and they spend countless hours and large sums of money preparing through:
- ESL schools
- Private lessons in person
- Private lessons online
Exclusive TESOL Australia Unit
The ITTM — Inspirational & Transformational Teaching Method
After years of extensive teaching observation and research, the ITTM was developed to address the need for teachers to ‘hold space’ and engage students in taking an active role as independent learners in the ESL classroom.
The specialised techniques developed in this unit will help you to connect with your students and act as a ‘conduit’ facilitating self-directed learning in the ESL classroom. This will in turn, manifest in your students taking an active role not only in their own learning and progress but also that of their fellow students.
These latest methods will give you a competitive edge in the ESL teaching industry. Whether you work online, teach overseas or set up your own teaching business, this International TESOL Certificate will ensure you have the knowledge, training, skills and Certificate level qualification to set you apart.
