Experienced TEFL Teachers – Real Classroom Lessons Needed for Teacher Training Course

We’re building a new online TEFL training course through Eslbase and School of TEFL, based on real classroom teaching.

We’re inviting a small number of experienced teachers to record one or two real lessons that can be used inside the course as:

- Full lesson case studies
- Short clips demonstrating key classroom techniques

This is a credited opportunity - your teaching will be used as part of the training itself, and you'll be formally credited within the course.

We are only selecting up to five teachers for this project - teachers will be chosen based on experience, clarity of teaching, and overall fit with the course.

What's involved?

If selected, you’ll record one or more real teaching sessions. Each session should be:

- A normal, uninterrupted lesson (ideally 45-60 minutes)
- Filmed in your usual teaching environment (in person or online)
- Taught to real students

We’re particularly interested in:

- Adult grammar lessons
- Reading or listening skills lessons (adult groups)
- Business English and ESP lessons
- One-to-one lessons
- Exam preparation lessons (IELTS, Cambridge, etc.)
- Online lessons
- Young learner lessons (with appropriate permissions)

We’re also interested in short “unknown language” demo lessons and level test interviews.

Before recording, we’ll agree together which lesson type would best fit the course.

We’re especially looking for lessons that clearly demonstrate techniques such as:

- Eliciting
- Setting up tasks
- Checking understanding
- Modelling
- Giving feedback
- Managing classroom interaction

- £100 per lesson used, paid once the lesson is approved
- £400 additional bonus paid once the course reaches 100 enrolments (paid once per teacher, regardless of the number of lessons recorded)
- Optional opportunity to join our referral programme during launch

Your contribution will be credited within the course, and we'll provide you with suggested wording to add to your CV.

- At least 3 years of classroom teaching experience in structured contexts or a higher-level qualification such as DELTA, DipTESOL, or equivalent.
- Comfortable being filmed and confident teaching in a natural, professional way on camera.
- We’re not looking for polished performance - just clear, effective teaching.

Please send the following to keith@schooloftefl.org:

- A brief summary of your experience (or your CV)
- The teaching context(s) you could realistically record in
- A short 3–5 sentence explanation of why you think your teaching would be a good fit for this project

We'll invite shortlisted applicants to submit a 5-10 minute sample of real teaching using their intended filming setup.

Please note:
We’re selecting a small number of teachers, so not all strong applicants will be chosen. Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide detailed individual feedback on sample submissions.
