Highfield Level 5 Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) (The TEFL Institute)

The objective of this qualification is to prepare learners for employment as a teacher to those who do not speak English as a first language.

The target learner would be those with little or no experience of teaching English, or those with previous experience who are seeking a recognised qualification to validate their knowledge. This qualification covers not only face-to-face course delivery but also online course delivery.

The qualification covers all basic principles of teaching English from grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, to skills such as reading, writing, listening and speaking, up to good classroom management, lesson planning and delivery, and special considerations for both adult and young learners alike.

This qualification provides learners with a diploma that is recognised worldwide and can be used to secure teaching positions, visas and other employment related to English language teaching.

By the end of this qualification, learners should expect to have a solid theoretical knowledge of TEFL, as well as being equipped with real-life skills such as lesson planning and classroom management that will springboard them confidently into their first teaching job.
