This is a VIRTUAL TEFL course, not an online course. It is LIVE and interactive. You interact with your trainer and classmates in real time, and is therefore considered an in-class course.
What will I learn on the VIRTUAL TEFL / TESOL course?
The following areas/subjects are covered during your 3 weeks virtual TEFL / TESOL training at Destination TEFL / TESOL:
Teaching techniques
Teaching the four skills of language: speaking, listening, reading and writing
Planning a course for special purposes (such as for a business)
Grammar – brushing up yours as a teacher, and techniques to teach grammar
Phonics
Creating materials for lessons
Lesson planning
Suitable activities for the language classroom
Discipline in the classroom
Building rapport with your students, including warmers and coolers in the classroom.
Classroom management, covering all aspects
Teaching one-to-one, as well as larger classes
Teaching vocabulary
Understanding problems for Asian learners (understanding the differences between their language and English) as well as for other key languages, such as Spanish and Russian.
Error correction techniques
Preparing your CV/resumé, and tips for the interview process
Teaching business English
Teaching Online
There is no final examination that determines your pass grade. Your final course result is determined by the combined marks of the assignments above, as well as on your participation and teamwork in class, attendance and behaviour.
You have the opportunity to sign up for module 2, as part of our hybrid course, meaning that at a later date you can come over to Siem Reap for 2 weeks of practical training. See our Hybrid course listing for more information.
The Destination TEFL virtual ESL course has been very challenging and pushed me out of my comfort zone. The course structure and material was engaging, interesting, fun and varied. It included both theory and practical elements - time has flown by and at the same time I feel like I’ve been on the course for months! The resources we have been given give me comfort as I will be able to reference them again in future in the workplace.
Our trainer Tina was professional, bubbly, entertaining, patient and supportive. Best of all, she was authentic and direct with her feedback which was really helpful. I feel equipped and ready to teach now that I have a variety of resources, tools, techniques, games and information to be the best ESL teacher I can be.
Thank you Destination TEFL!

This virtual course was a fantastic 3 week experience that I will never forget! Incredible interactive course where you meet some really incredible people and learn super interesting and helpful ESL teaching techniques. I'm very glad that I took the TEFL course and even more happy I chose to take it with Destination TEFL. I really look forward to meeting the staff in person in Cambodia when I eventually head over there after Covid-related travel restrictions are loosened. Thanks Destination TEFL!!

I had an amazing experience from start to end! I was initially a little nervous going into the course with not much prior knowledge of the zoom platform and how it would translate to a classroom environment for a learner but those nerves quickly faded once I realised how straight forward the platform was to navigate. The content was presented in a way that made learning fun and I thought the pace of delivery was maintainable. I learnt so much and I now feel equipped with the tools to be able to start applying for online teaching jobs. I recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a high quality TEFL course with amazing teachers who provide you with the skills and confidence to start your teaching journey.
