Certificate in Teaching English as a Life Skill (Cert TEALS)
The Certificate in Teaching English as a Life Skill (Cert TEALS) is an initial qualification for English teachers
in the UK and overseas. The course uses cutting edge teaching and learning methodology centred on
helping students to use English to achieve their goals. This 4 week course includes: 50 hours of workshop
input, discussions and guided study; 12 hours of teaching practice double that of a normal 4 week course;
very small teaching practice groups of just 4 trainees; weekly tutorials. Successful candidates receive the
Certificate in TEALS.
How is this course different?

English language teacher training tends to emphasise the teaching of English as an end in itself. This course
focuses on teaching English as a life skill (TEALS), that is, to develop the ability to function effectively in
English in an international world. This involves the ability to communicate
convincingly and persuasively in multicultural settings.
A proficient TEALS practitioner focuses on the life objectives of the learner and
has the skills, knowledge and confidence to help them to overcome barriers to
effective communication and realise their objectives through English.

will be able to:

for real purposes, and in real situations
