Length of Position: 4 weeks

Description: ÍBERO TEFL: Our TEFL course consists of a total of 100 hours; 95 hours are devoted to input lessons (in-class study) and 6 hours are devoted to observed teaching practice. Classes are highly interactive and each topic is taught in detail by the teacher, discussed by the students, and then put into practice. Students will also work with a lesson book in order to support both visual and auditory learning styles.

Spanish

There are eight different levels (Beginner I, Beginner II, Intermediate I, Intermediate II, Intermediate III, Pre Advanced, Advanced and Superior). Students will be placed in their appropriate level once they have completed the placement test. The emphasis in the classes is on the acquisition of oral language as well as the written one. The lessons are very active and also interactive, dynamic and cost-effective.

Highlights: Method

Íbero Constructivist Methodology

At Íbero we believe in the Constructivist method which states that students learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process and therefore are better able to relate and reflect on their experiences at a later time. In order to achieve a Constructivist classroom, our students are encouraged to participate and become involved in each topic; to ask questions and project any thoughts and feelings they may have; to involve themselves in class discussions; and, to gain responsibility when working independently and within groups. Íbero puts a great emphasis on communication in the classroom and encourages the exchange of ideas between students and teachers.

Materials & Curriculum
Íbero will be using its own professionally designed lesson books for all TEFL classes. Our books were written with the help of English professionals, English resources, and professional editing.
