A) Distance Learning Programme - £225

How does it work?
This programme can be done via the Internet. Once you've completed your application and been accepted onto this programme we'll send you the first unit of work to your e-mail address, as an attachment. There is one written assignment with the first unit. You'll send your first assignment to us. It will then be marked by your PERSONAL tutor who will e mail you the feedback and your grade together with the following unit of work. We progress together to Unit 3, at which point we'll set you up with your teaching observations, at the most convenient/nearest TEFL school or college to your postal address.

This can be organised for you anywhere in the world.

Each unit will inform and inspire you, imparting knowledge, building your skills and confidence levels, 'bringing out the teacher in you'. We provide you with a thoroughly practical bibliography together with a list of essential websites to visit, enabling you to borrow ideas from some of the best TEFL resource sites on the web. In the final Unit of work, we'll arrange your teaching practice sessions and we'll assess your overall performance to grade your certificate, which will be sent to you via the traditional post, to any location in the world.

Our programme is one of the most authentic distance learning courses you'll find. The programme is thorough and totally geared towards a successful outcome for the participant, and is being used to help our students find work all over the world.

How long will the course take?
The Distance learning programme can take from 4 weeks to a few months depending on what other demands the student has in his/her life. For each assignment, students will be required to either write an essay or carry out some factual research, sourcing information from publications/libraries/internet. Practical assignments require the planning of lessons, using materials to produce teaching aids, exploring the use of T.V, video, games and other media in creating practical lessons in the teaching of the four skills i.e. Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing.
Students will be encouraged to contact their local evening class institute or local authority college/private school, in order to set up some teaching observation or practice. A.L.S. will assist all students in this process. This can also be done for residents outside the U.K

The A.L.S. TEFL Certificate can be used to help gain employment almost anywhere in the world.

Past students of Albany Language School have commented on our 'in depth programme', our 'fair prices' and 'quality assignments' with professional back up.

How can I achieve the A.L.S. Certificate in the Teaching of English as a foreign language?
You do not need formal qualifications to apply, but once accepted you will need to complete your assignments, which will be marked by members of the teaching panel, all of who are experienced graduate, bilingual T.E.F.L. or professional language practitioners.

The assignments will cover such topics as: -

Lesson planning and course development • Interactive teaching skills in reading,
writing, speaking and listening • Classroom management • Student and Teacher
profiles • Background to English grammar • Confidence building • Classroom materials, video, role playing and mime and eliciting skills • Planning, production and presentation.

Your assignments can be sent to A.L.S. via e-mail. In this respect you can start and finish your T.E.F.L. programme from anywhere in the world. For people who might live in very isolated locations, not serviced as yet by the internet, we can run the Distance Programme (A) via the traditional postal service, but its less secure and a lot slower.

Once you have achieved the necessary standards in order to be awarded the A.L.S. Certificate in the teaching of English as a Foreign Language, you will be quite at liberty to place the letters 'Cert T.E.F.L.' after your name.
