TEFL Prague and Abroad

Here's a lesson that has a heavy focus on the definite and indefinite article, as well as a strong focus on lexis dealing with businesses and landscape found in a city. At the end of the lesson, students revamp an area of their city (Zizkov in this case) to make it more appealing to up and coming residents. Students work together to create their plans and then share them with others in their class. If you're not located in Prague, pick a dingy area in your city that all your students know about. This will make the lesson more engaging for the students. Materials - A3 paper or flip chart paper                   Pictures of a decrepit neighbourhood Intro 1-2 min  Come into class ecstatic.

It's been a couple of months since I post any new lessons on the blog. Let's make up for that. I plan on putting up 10 new lessons in the next month. That's the goal. If you have any suggestions on content, just let me know and I'll create something.

  We had a great group for our April 2015 TEFL course in Prague with The Language House. Check out there course video.

Are you already a qualified teacher with experience and want to teach in Prague? Are you worried about making the move over here without a job lined up,  an apartment, visa help, or friends? The Language House TEFL can help you. I get emails all of the time from teachers that want to teach in Prague, but find it nearly impossible to land a job from abroad. To help with this, I created The Language House TEFL Job and Guidance Package for qualified teachers that want to work in Prague, but find making the move too difficult to do.  This isn't a TEFL certification course, but a package of job assistance and other services, geared at making the transition easy. Myself and The Language House TEFL staff will help you find work, get legal, get housing and make friends in the city via our large graduate community. Prague is an amazing place to live and teach. We'll help you out and get you started.  Check out the link for more information  Language House TEFL Job and Gui...

 We had a great turnout for a photo of our graduates in Prague. Thanks for all coming out and making the day special.

It's hard to wrap up the experience of The Language House TEFL course. You can have a graduation party and do extra things for all of the graduating students, but I've always felt as if each course ended, and that was it. Based on a some inspiration on from the February 2015 TLH class, I'm going to start making video photo journals of each month. It's a nice thing to end the course and it gives the new teachers something they can take with them. Here's the first one I made for the March 2015 Language House TEFL class.

Here's the video demonstration for the lesson plan 'The Deadliest Animal'. The class I shot it with was a band new group of students at The Language House TEFL. Each course, the trainers of the program teach a demo lesson for the TEFL trainees with the Czech Students. If you like the video, please leave a comment on Youtube and subscribe to my channel. It helps get the word out there.
