COURSE OVERVIEW
During the intensive, classroom-based component, assessment is continuous and based on participation in group discussions and performance in short, simulated teaching sessions. While this course covers all the main areas necessary for teaching English abroad, we do recommend that students register for the longer, 100 hr TESOL course for reasons mentioned in the TESOL information section.

COURSE ASSESSMENT
We require candidates to meet the high standards of the course, and we evaluate course participants in three ways:
- Course participation
Attendance and level of course participation are recorded and assessed by the trainer.
- Project
Candidates are required to submit a lesson planning project and will receive continual feedback assessment on all tasks
- Course participants who receive positive feedback and assessments on all points will receive a certificate indicating a grading of the candidate's performance in each area. When a candidate does not meet the criteria or is struggling in any area of assessment, the course trainer will assist with further input and practice, modules may need to be redone or additional practice could be arranged.
As the course trainer works closely with all participants and monitors each participant's progress from the beginning, there is plenty of time to work on any areas needing improving.
