Give me just 3 evenings per week for 3 weeks, and I’ll give you a step-by-step approach for teaching English to children.
  Hello, I’m Barbara Takase, and I’m the Director of the Auckland English Academy here in Auckland.  For 15 years we’ve been working with young teachers who have a genuine interest in children.  We’ve helped them with Kiwi Kindy ® internships and with TESOL (Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages) courses.

With the Auckland English Academy’s TESOL Tactics programme, you’ll gain confidence in how to tackle an English language teaching assignment.

You’ll find out where to start, how to plan and how to present an effective programme.

You’ll get first hand experience of being up in front of a group of people, explaining, leading and monitoring games, songs and other fun communication activities.

You’ll also have the chance to put yourself in your students' shoes by struggling and laughing your way through two communication activities taught entirely in a foreign language.

You’ll have the knowledge, skills and  confidence to work alongside experienced teachers and make a valuable contribution.

And you’ll be able to achieve this in just 3 weeks of evening classes.

The Auckland English Academy’s TESOL Tactics seminar is designed for people whose first language is English.

If English is not your first language, you will need an IELTS score of at least 7.00 overall.  If you don’t have IELTS 7.00, then the Auckland English Academy’s TESOL English Instructor 5-Week course could be better for you.

For TESOL Tactics, you do not need to be a qualified teacher or have formal educational qualifications.  You do need to have a genuine interest in working with children.  You need patience, a positive personality, and, above all, a keen sense of humour.

TESOL Tactics is not a formal academic course.  It’s an activities-based course full of practical tips and step-by-step strategies developed by experienced teachers who have an in-depth understanding of this field.

TESOL Tactics is ideal for JET (Japan Exchange Teacher) participants, for people intending to teach children in Korea or Japan, or for people who are hoping to teach English informally while they are traveling overseas.

It’s also an inspiring refresher course for people who have completed formal TESOL qualifications in past years.
