20-Hour Live TEFL Practicum
Course Overview
- Our 20-hour Live TEFL Practicum is delivered via live training on Zoom with one of our qualified, and highly experienced teacher trainers. We offer both weekday and weekend schedules.
- Throughout the practicum, you’ll explore a range of essential teaching topics. The sessions are dynamic, supportive, and engaging, designed to leave you feeling inspired and confident as you learn.
- You’ll also take part in guided teaching practice, receiving live feedback and support from an experienced trainer. This hands‑on experience helps you bridge the gap between theory and real classroom teaching.

Course Content
Across this 20‑hour live practicum, you’ll take part in a series of interactive, trainer‑led sessions designed to build your confidence and practical teaching skills. You will:
- Participate in live methodology workshops covering essential TEFL topics
- Explore classroom management, student engagement, lesson staging, and digital teaching tools
- Work through practical tasks that help you apply new techniques immediately
- Prepare and deliver short lessons as part of your guided teaching practice
- Observe your peers and take part in reflective discussions
- Build real classroom confidence through hands‑on, supportive practice.
During the practicum, you will teach two short lessons (15–20 minutes each) in a supportive, trainer‑led environment. Your trainer will observe your teaching, provide live feedback on the day, and prepare a personalised teaching practice report highlighting your strengths and areas for development. This report is a valuable document you can share with prospective employers and use to guide your continued growth as a teacher.
