EFL, ESL. IELTS / TOEFL Courses and TEFL Training and Certificates
Almiaad
Education Centre provides English and Arabic language training courses for a
wide range of purposes and varied clientele. Our services started with a small
team in the 1990s in the UAE led by PhD holder and expert in Applied
Linguistics and an ELT advisor and education consultant. The team started working on language training
courses and IELTS/TOEFL exam preparations before embarking on more important
TEFL training projects.
Our
teacher training programs offered a significant change in the way in which
teachers were trained for the classroom.
The need for the adoption of more classroom oriented, student – centred and
eclectic approaches necessitated a totally different approach in the design of
TEFL programs for teachers in regions like the Middle East. The local cultural affiliation and specific
social layer of the learners had their impact on the way in which the learning
task takes place.
These
factors reflect the importance of social interaction and motivation for certain
learners. This revealed to educators the
need for localised approaches and more contextualised teaching practices. Hence, our TEFL training relies on these
aspects to develop more successful teachers of English in the contexts in wish
to work. A TEFL certificate is a 120 hour training program, and a personal tutor
is assigned to each trainee.
Our TEFL
trainees receive either onsite or online training. But, the practicum sessions need to be done
onsite at our premises or in coordination with one of our affiliate language
schools and colleges.
Regarding
our ESL and EFL courses, we develop specially tailored programs to meet the
specific needs of our clients. Some individuals
may require learning English for general purposes, but want to focus on the
development of their speaking skill. This
is usually needed for job place and everyday interactions. However, others may require developing their
writing skill in order to be able to use English effectively in their business
exchanges in the form of emails or letters.
Those
who want to pass an English testing system, like EILTS and TOEFL, often need
more work from our side. This kind of
language training requires increasing their language levels before training
them on the test preparations. At the
end of the preparation stage, regardless of the number of hours agreed on, a
mock test is performed to give the trainee an idea about their performance level. This will decide on the next date to fix for
the test.
Apart
from its language training courses, Almiaad Education Centre offers teacher
recruitment services. We help colleges, universities,
language schools and private primary and secondary schools find the best
qualified and trained staff for their programs.
We often carry in-service training courses for the staff whenever new
programs or learning materials are implemented.
The cost
of training is very reasonable, but it takes into consideration the salaries we
pay for our highly professional staff. Teachers,
trainers and consultants working with us are postgraduate degree holders with a
long expert in the field.
