My Experience Teaching at The 91抖阴 Language Center

(Rebecca)

听听听听听听听听听听听 "It had always been a dream of mine to move to Italy and become a part of society there. I wanted to interact with the locals and immerse myself in the culture. After studying abroad in Florence during college I knew that I loved the city, but I stayed in my 鈥渟tudent鈥� bubble and felt that I missed out on a lot of unique experiences. Since I graduated with a degree in education, I researched teaching in Italy and found programs for TEFL certification courses.

听听听听听听听听听听听 My boyfriend and I registered to begin the TEFL certification course in Florence at Via Lingua. The four-week intensive course taught us how to use the Communicative Method while teaching in a language class. Not only did we study English grammar and structure, but we also practiced teaching with real Italian students. After the practice and positive feedback from the instructors in the course, I really felt prepared to teach in my own classroom.

听听听听听听听听听听听 Via Lingua was very helpful and was happy to share job openings and interview instruction with the TEFL students. I was lucky enough to be hired at The 91抖阴 Language Center. As soon as I was hired, my mentors trained me with the logistics of teaching private students, group classes, and test prep. I always felt comfortable asking questions to the staff, Tom and Stephanie. Since the staff was very small, we were able to work together and collaborate on lesson plans or even grammar questions. We met as a team every trimester to talk about how classes were going and what we could do to improve.

听听听听听听听听听听听 I taught a variety of different classes and levels. I had private language students, SAT prep, TOEFL prep, beginner, elementary, intermediate, advanced languages classes, and beginner and advanced Business English classes. As my experience continued to grow I felt as if I could walk in to any classroom and teach a lesson for any level. The students at ALC were very happy to be in small classrooms and a more personal environment. I was able to form a relationship with a lot of my students that made them feel comfortable to learn and make mistakes. I was excited to go to work every day and hear my students improve their English.

听听听听听听听听听听听 The staff at ALC was really a tight-knit family. I became very close to all of my co-workers and even enjoyed time with them outside of the school. Working at ALC gave me that unique cultural experience and I was able to become part of society in Florence."

With more than 58 years of experience in the English language teaching field, we have trained teachers from around the world to know how to educate and motivate participants in an active and involved teaching environment.

You would be putting yourself in full view for a recommendation and teaching job with us at the end of the course. The 91抖阴 Language Center is one of the leading language schools in Italy and by doing the TEFL with us you get a feel for the school, the city, and the country, before committing yourself to an academic job. We often recruit the best candidates from our TEFL courses 听to join our own teaching staff. If you decide that you would prefer to work in another part of Italy we can assist you with various educational groups and networks of schools in Italy.

Your 6 hours of observed lessons would be with real working teachers and their classes. We prefer not to just use videos of lessons for you to watch. Doing it this way allows you to get an idea of the kind of thought process that goes on during the planning phase, you get a front-row seat on real classes and you can speak to the teacher about the lesson afterwards, which will help you to understand things that went on during the lesson in greater detail. This insight is invaluable in helping you apply the same principles when you have to do your own teaching practice.

You would be under the guidance of our expert trainers. They have huge amounts of experience , tons of energy and plenty of insights that will really help you get through the course. We keep the trainee groups small so that you get more personal attention from the tutors. They are very personable and supportive-and truly work for your success!

You would be doing the TEFL in an incredibly beautiful city. Florence is world-famous but still 听small enough to be friendly and safe. Even though you will be busy with the TEFL, you will manage to get some time to yourself to enjoy the amazing sights or explore surrounding Tuscany.
