b) Trainees must complete six hours teaching practice and a minimum of six hours observation of EFL teachers in the classroom. Small groups of trainees are assigned to an experienced TEFL tutor and regular EFL classes. Observation, lesson planning and teaching will take place within the mainstream EFL class programmes giving trainees a more realistic view of EFL teaching.

c) The aim of this initial scheme is to develop:

° practical awareness of the learners (their needs, motivation and difficulties); language (grammar, phonology, functions and meaning); materials (course books, reference and resource books and authentic material).

° practical ability in classroom management and lesson planning, introduction and practice of a new language, development of skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening.

The course is internally assessed and moderated by one or two visits from an external assessor.
