Quality

Global reputation

Established in 2002 under the United States/Thailand Amity Treaty to provide undeniable

creditability as a global educational provider in Thailand. Our well-

earned reputation for consistent, top-notch, training standards has created a demand for our

graduates worldwide.

InsightEntrust created its own teacher training division to satisfy the tremendous need for quality

teachers for placement. Unfortunately many people that

hold valid TEFL / TESOL certificates have no idea how to teach, control classrooms, or conduct teaching

administrative duties.

ResultsEntrust TEFL has become a respected brand recognized

worldwide as our graduates are currently delivering lessons in over 20 countries. Some schools only

hire Entrust TEFL graduates as the level of training and practical hands on experience can be guaranteed.

The Introduction and orientation unit provides you with essential

information on teacher edict, teaching environments and what is expected during the course.

Introduction &

Orientation

01

English has a complicated system of rules and exceptions for its syntax. Part of the complexity arises from its history. A basic

understanding of why the language operates the way it does

is essential.

COURSE SUMMARY

contents

Within any EFL setting, culture plays a pivotal role. Teachers have an honored

role in Thai society, so in order to integrate well into society a thorough understanding of Thai culture is essential. In this unit we

focus on topics such as language, religion, societal values, cultural norms and general business practices. If taking our course in Vietnam, Cambodia or China the culture section will be replaced for that country.

Understanding what motivates learners is critical to managing their behavior.

In this unit we uncover the myriad reasons, both individual and societal,

that motivate students to learn.

Learner MOTIVATION

05

03

There are many different teaching styles, and each teacher brings his or her own personality

to the classroom, adding more spice to the proverbial pot. In order to capitalize on your effectiveness as a teacher, it helps to understand how the process of learning

actually takes place.

04

How Students Learn

Student levelsThis unit is dedicated to unravelling the key differences in learning styles that can be found between young children and teenagers, or between beginners and advanced students. We’ll illustrate

ways to make adjustments that cater for these differences.

Planning and delivery of lesson content is probably what most consider the

cornerstone of TEFL training. This unit focuses on how you order and present your lessons. After this unit, you’ll be ready to speak and present anytime,

Students can improve their listening skills and gain valuable input through a combination of extensive and intensive listening material and

Teaching Listening

Pronunciation is a very sensitive but important topic, especially in the TEFL setting. We look

at different theories on the methodology behind pronunciation teaching, the reasoning behind

those theories, and the basic hindrances to good pronunciation. A large portion of this unit is also

dedicated to articulation and intonation.

16

Teaching Pronunciation,

Articulation & IntonationIn the English language there are eight parts of

speech that are the most common as every single word that comes out of your mouth is one of the eight parts of speech. In this chapter we not only

learn their function, but learn how to teach them to different class levels.

Why Thailand?

We have to smile when we get asked this question, because we know from experience that once you get here, you won’t be able to imagine not taking a TEFL course in Thailand! Thailand is a gateway to Asia – the perfect mixture of modern, western comforts and authentic, cultural experiences.

Importantly, Thailand is full of opportunities for English teachers. Jobs are abundant and the cost of living is low, giving you the opportunity to travel and explore, or use your savings as you see fit. And, Thailand offers you unimaginable diversity, divine cuisine and friendly locals.

FAQ

Where can I work with an Entrust TEFL certificate?

A Entrust TEFL certificate allows you to teach English as a foreign language practically anywhere in the world! We currently have course graduates working all through South East Asia, China, South Korea, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, United Emiratis, Hungary, Spain, Ukraine and Central America.

While all countries have their own set of rules, regulations and requirements concerning the employment of foreign labor, we are recognized around the globe. This is helped by our professional associations, years of solid reputation and over 5000 graduates already working world wide. That said, we do recommend that if you know where you’d ultimately like to teach, that you do your homework about that country’s employment requirements.

Some countries may require an additional or higher qualification (like a degree), along with your Entrust TEFL Certificate. They may also have age and ethnicity requirements in order to legally employ you.

FAQ

general

Do I need to have teaching experience to teach in Thailand?

No, you do not need to have any previous teaching experience or even speak a word of Thai. However, a definite interest in this field goes without saying. Through our TEFL program, you’ll receive hands-on training through our intensive 120-hour course, be immersed in the Thai culture while being supported by our staff, and see your confidence grow through teaching observation and practice at real schools.

You don’t need to speak a word of Thai to teach English in Thailand. If you do have teaching experience or certification; a degree in Education, English, Math or Science; and other transferable skills – then we encourage you to apply as well. These are sought after by Thai schools.

FAQ

general

Can I teach in a city of my choice?

The final hiring decision is made by your prospective employers individual needs and requirements. As Entrust TEFL is simply making the introduction, you’ll be able to decide whether to accept a job position or not, based on the openings available balanced with your individual needs. That being said, our placement department does not collect any fee or commission on your placement, so we introduce you directly to your prospective employer to give you the most money in your pockets every month.

TEFL graduates will tell you that flexibility and reasonability is key to having an enjoyable experience. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t land your dream job on day one as we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to honor your request. Once you get some teaching experience on your CV, some money in your pocket, a true idea of what levels and where you want to teach . . then you can go for that dream job.

What is the Average starting salary for a teacher?

FAQ

general

What if I only want to teach for a short time?

You can work as much or as little as you want however, most schools or recruiting agencies will, on average, ask you to sign either a one term (4 months) or full year contract. Most TEFL course graduates work as teachers for at least a year. Many stay in Thailand for much longer, some choosing only to work on a short-term basis at a school or language school during peak periods.

How soon should I expect to be placed?

You should expect to be getting job offers within your first and second week of class as our recruitment division starts contacting employers on your behalf. On the third Monday of the month we provide you with different opportunities so that you can make an informed decision about the school where you’d like to teach. Once you graduate, you should already know where you will be teaching and have made arrangements with your employer with regard to accommodation and transportation to your school.
