Demonstrating TEFL Lessons

Preparing for Demonstration Lessons

Some employers will ask you to perform a demonstration TEFL lesson as part of the

interview process. While an uncomfortable proposition, often with ‘fake’ students, this is

not something to be feared.

When you are requested to give a demonstration TEFL lesson, ask for whom the lesson is intended, their skill level, the

intended target language or topic and length of the time of the lesson. Often you will be allowed, within reasonable boundaries, to

determine most of these things.

Once you know who, what and how long you are to teach, design a simple lesson plan for that lesson. Be sure to take two copies of it

(with any handouts attached) to the demonstration lesson, one for you, one for the

interviewers.

Follow your TEFL lesson plan carefully, make sure your boardwork looks sharp, be sure to minimize teacher talk time, put on a

big smile, dress appropriately and most likely, the job will be yours.
