Presentazione

With English being the global language it is, the provision of quality training for professional development becomes a must. In response to the growing demand in Europe and Latin America, as well as in the rest of the world, for improvement in the quality and effectiveness of English language teaching in both the public and the private sector, a programme in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) has been developed. It is specifically designed for distance learning, and has been developed in collaboration with La Fundación Universitaria Iberoamericana (FUNIBER).

The programme aims to help practicing teachers, or those wishing to become teachers, address in an informed and principled way the issues and professional needs that relate to their own working environment. The type of training is thus developed to encourage the learner’s autonomy without losing sight of elements of constant but flexible interaction, tailored to the specific needs of teachers in professional development.

As a result, the material used has been designed to be accessed on the Internet by means of a special interface created for this reason. The interface is a central part of this type of teacher training since the virtual interaction, by means of e-mail, discussion groups, chats, etc., bridges the geographical gap between the different components of the course.


Who is the programme for?

The programme leading to the Master, Diploma or Certificates in TEFL is intended for:

Primary and secondary level English language teachers in public or private institutions.
Teachers of EFL working in adult education.
Graduates with relevant qualifications intending to work as English language teachers.

Holders of all degrees, irrespective of subject, can be considered for the programme as long as the following requirements are fulfilled:


Academic requirements

Master:

BA Honours (4 years of university studies) in a field relating to Educational Studies, Languages or Social Sciences. Degrees in other areas will also be considered for admission on the MA programme prior to completion of the entry exam. If the candidate has ample experience in the TEFL field and holds an Ordinary degree (3-year degree), he/she may be admitted onto the MA course prior to individual evaluation by the Academic Committee.


Diploma & Certificate:

University degree is needed in a field relating to Educational Studies, Languages or Social Sciences, except for Certificate A, B and C. Degrees in other areas will also be considered for admission on the MA programme prior to completion of the entry exam.


Teaching experience

For all the courses in TEFL (Master, Diploma, Certificates) a minimum of one year's teaching experience in ELT at any type of institution or in private tuition, is recommended. For the Certificates, if the candidate has no previous teaching experience, he/she may be asked to do an entrance exam before being admitted onto the course.


Linguistic requirements

All candidates who are non-native speakers of English will have to provide evidence of having passed one of the following exams:

Cambridge:
Cambridge FCE (First Certificate) - grade A. (Grade B or C requires the entrance exam to be taken)
Cambridge CAE (Advanced) or CPE (Proficiency) - any pass grade
TOEFL:
There are 3 versions of this exam:
Paper-based test (PBT) is out of a total 677 points, a minimum of 550 points is required.
Computer-based test (CBT) is out of a total 300 points, a minimum of 230 points is required.
Internet-based test (iBT) is out of a total 120 points, a minimum of 79 is required.
Michigan Test:
ECEP (Examination for the Certification of Proficiency in English) - a pass. The Michigan ECCE (Examination for the Certification of Competency in English) is not accepted since the level is too low. If the candidate does not have any of the above-mentioned certificates, and if he/she is not a native English speaker, then he/she will have to sit the entrance exam. English certificates from any other language schools will generally not be accepted, but may still be submitted for evaluation by the teachers on the course. If no consensus is reached regarding the qualification, the candidate will have to sit the entrance exam.

Anyway, having English as an L1 doesn't presuppose that a student has the linguistic level that this Masters demands. So, as a last resort, the company's management team of this programme can demand that the candidates pass a test that proves that they possess the level required
