Why
become ÍBERO TEFL/TESOL Certified?
The
staff is great. All of the resources that were needed could be
accessed at any time, and I loved the arcade game! I thought the
TEFL course was very informative. It has already helped me and
the practice lessons were crucial to my learning. The teacher
was very organized and very knowledgeable of every subject. He
managed the classroom in a comfortable way and provided plenty
of sources for additional input. The teaching practices were
very useful. It was great to have at least one beginner, one
intermediate, and once advanced student.
Trey Woody, USA.
The
building and staff were very good. The practice teaching
sessions were very useful for me. The teacher was well organized
and prepared. He was experienced at teaching classes himself,
which was helpful. The price is very competitive against other
schools.
Garry Alcock,
England.
The
location is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful.
The course was great! I feel very well equipped and prepared for
teaching English. A lot of useful learning tools were provided.
The teacher was very organized, dynamic, motivating,
entertaining. It´s obvious that he had a lot of experience, and
he was a great inspiration. I enjoyed the teaching practices a
lot. I´m definitely going to use my experience from these in my
lesson plans in the future. I just loved the experience here.
Charlotte Knudsen, Denmark.
The
location of the school is great and the building is nice. The
staff is terrific, especially my TEFL and Spanish teachers and
the student coordinator. I was impressed with all teachers. I
think the course is very efficient for the time spent, and I
believe it will help me become a teacher, especially in Latin
America. The book and handouts were very informative and helpful.
The teacher was informative and wise far beyond his years; he
had tremendous enthusiasm and energy, was always prepared and in
a good mood, and very patient with us when it was needed. The
practice teaching sessions were very useful. Everyone has a
different style and that is what I took away from the sessions.
I would definitely recommend the TEFL course to people who have
self-discipline and a sense of adventure! The Spanish classes
were great and very worthwhile as well. I loved the Buenos Aires
experience. I have never spent this much time in a city like
this and that is a lesson in itself.
David Ellis,
USA. (TEFL + Spanish Program)
The
school is pleasant and positive. The people are very nice. The
course was great. I have learned so much and feel very confident
about my teaching skills. The book was very helpful. It will be
a great resource forever. We were provided with many worksheets
and articles that were also very helpful. The teacher was great.
He was always organized and prepared. The practice teaching was
very useful. It provided real-life situations.

California, USA.

We recommend that our students prepare themselves for a full
work load as there is plenty of material to cover. However, our
TEFL tutors work hard to make each lesson exciting and
challenging and we encourage our students to have fun with the
course, make friends with their fellow classmates, enjoy BA’s
sights and attractions and also take part in Íbero’s weekly
activities.
Materials Project
Students must create some sets of materials
that can be used during Teaching Practice or English lessons in
the future. The materials may include visuals, audio, games,
video, cue cards, or class handouts. Students must prepare these
materials and demonstrate them to their professors in order to
receive feedback and if they choose, use them during teaching
practice.
Foreign Language Experience Journal

This is a daily record of notes, comments,
reviews, critiques, observation, and personal feelings during
the TEFL program. The journal should include the
following:
-
Daily thoughts on teachings
-
Comparing/contrasting the learning
process with the teaching process
-
Noting observations of teaching
techniques, materials used and classroom management
-
A 200 word conclusion on what was learned

Profile of an individual English student
This profile allows students/trainees to
experience what it is like to learn a foreign/second language
and enables them to reflect this experience directly into their
own teaching. Trainees observe a student learning English in
order to learn how to find student needs, create course
objectives and to develop a lesson plan. This profile must
include the following:
-
A clear profile of the student and their
English level
-
Analyze the students learning needs in
the future
-
Analyze the students short-term needs and
create a two week lesson plan

The teaching practices were really great and learning the
different teaching methods was good at engaging everyone in
teaching and learning. The materials were very organized and I
will be using the book for many lessons. There were specific
things to learn every class and most classes were engaging and
also gave us time to work on our teaching classes.
Brooke Gontarek, USA.
I
think the IBERO TEFL course was very informative and practical –
material was useful and getting the opportunity to teach and
watch others teach was invaluable! Very friendly and
accommodating staff, building was well kept and cool with air
conditioning! Schedule worked well. My teacher was very prepared
and she structured class well – the time passed quickly. She
included lots of games and activities and I also appreciated
prep time she allowed. Jillian Meade, USA.

I am very pleased with my experience at ÍBERO- I had been to one
other school and this was the best. The course is very well run.
My professor was obviously very experienced, a consummate
professional and managed to keep the class interested and
motivated throughout.
James Hubbard, USA

Very good course. Will definitely be of help – in giving
direction and confidence. Enjoyable and excellent teacher. I’ve
been here for 7 weeks and planning to come back for 4 more.

Our TEFL/TESOL
students at Íbero complete an intensive 4 week course
that includes 95 hours of instruction as well as 6 hours of
hands-on practice Teaching English as a Second or Foreign
Language.
Our
TEFL/TESOL Teacher Certification Course aims to give
students all necessary tools, theory and methodology and
basically the confidence to do this. Our Trainers are
experienced and sympathetic- very used to
bringing out the best
in our TEFL/TESOL trainees. Our building is comfortable
and centrally located (in downtown Buenos Aires) which
will minimize your travelling time from airports, accommodation,
etc. Our center is super well equipped and busy but at the same
time conducive for study. Trainees can use of all the
usual facilities plus access to the Internet. It is also
advisable to bring your own laptop to help you keep your lesson
plans and materials in order. Observation is a great way of
picking up ideas for
your own lessons, and seeing what really works.
You will observe many teaching styles. At the end of a
successful week, you will receive an ÍBERO TEFL/TESOL exam
to test your teacher abilities.
At the end of the course (upon successfully completing the 4
weeks), you will of course receive the ÍBERO TEFL International
Diploma,
Because of the small
size of our course, students get personalized attention
and learn the tools necessary to teach non- native English
students with a variety of different needs and backgrounds. We
make sure our students have all the materials they need to be
successful. One of the projects TEFL/TESOL Training
includes is creating sets of teaching materials which they can
take to use wherever they end up teaching.Everything our
students/trainees learn will allow them to adjust their future
lessons to students with varying levels of English. The
ability to customize their lesson plans depending on the
needs of their real students is a key skill our TEFL/TESOL
trainees take away.
Our trainees find both
the materials project and the hands-on teaching practice very
useful in preparing them for teaching on their own for the
very first time. Teaching English as a Foreign or
Second Language is a great way
to meet people from different backgrounds, have
the opportunity to learn Spanish before or after your
course, work in Argentina or other Latin American countries or
overseas and share your native language, your culture and your
work and life experiences.
Studying with us and completing
your TEFL/TESOL Certification will allow you to:
-
Know how much you already know about the
English language and teaching
-
Be aware how we all learn a new/foreign
or second language
-

discover that grammar is a useful tool
-
