In schools all around Ireland, the TEFL Institute offers TEFL courses explicitly designed for Transition Year and Leaving Cert Applied students. Discover how one of our affiliated schools enrolled its transition year kids in our program.

Tell us about your school and why your students enrolled in our program.

This is the first year pupils enrolled in a TEFL course at Castlerea Community School. All of our TY students engaged in the 120-hour TEFL course to advance their knowledge and skills. This gave them a lifelong credential that might lead to career experiences and international travel. Furthermore, we want our students to develop into capable, independent learners.

How did the students benefit from studying our course?

Our kids benefited greatly from the course in numerous ways. After completing the course in the classroom, our students got the chance to teach English-language in our school using their acquired knowledge and abilities. Although they were anxious, the students discovered that the course material was helpful in helping them plan lessons and teach. The few lectures the students gave made it clear that they had learnt a lot about vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation as well as what a TEFL teacher must know.

Would you recommend this course to other schools?

I would suggest this course to other educational institutions. Not only because our students found it enjoyable. They will graduate with a lifelong credential. It will enable them to instruct English as a foreign language to students anywhere in the world who are not native English speakers. I would suggest this course to other educational institutions.
