Unit 1: Teaching skills – You get assessed through your trainer’s evaluation of your six teaching hours with Genuine English language learners. A journal including your lesson plans, with self-evaluation and tutor evaluation. You write a journal covering your reflective comments following the observation of four hours of ESOL teaching by experienced teachers.
Unit 2: Language awareness – This is assessed by your grade on a language test covering grammar and phonology. Your trainer also evaluates your use of spoken and written English in your coursework.
Unit 3: Learner profile – You get assessed by preparing a simple linguistic profile and needs analysis, including some basic phonemic transcription, of an English language learner. The planning of and reflection on a one-to-one lesson that you arrange and teach. The preparation of recommendations for the learner’s future language development.
Unit 4: Materials assignment – You get assessed through a written rationale for developing one piece of teaching material. A Trinity moderator interviews you to discuss the above and how materials development is beneficial to the development of teaching skills.
Unit 5: Unknown language – You get assessed through a journal covering your reflective comments on four hours’ unknown language training you get from the point of view of the beginner. This includes an analysis of the critical aspects of methods and classroom management that affect you positively and negatively.
