GOTefl started as a division of SA-Recruitment, a teacher recruitment company established in 2004. SA-Recruitment has successfully placed hundreds of teachers internationally, and has a strong understanding of the opportunities - and challenges - of working overseas.​ The GOTefl division became so popular and we were regularly approached by potential candidates that did not fulfil the requirements for our SA-Recruitment’s mainstream teaching positions and these candidates were turned away. So, we decided it was time for it to become a stand-alone organisation managed by the same knowledgeable and experienced team of recruiters, offering the same high level of personalised service and ongoing support - now just in the TEFL space. GOTefl works with schools all over China and Thailand...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: There are many different kinds of teaching methods that have been used from the past to the present. Each one has its merits, however ESA has stood out amongst the others. However even within ESA, variation is acceptable in order to remain flexible and help teach students from a variety of backgrounds. It is important to keep teaching engaging to students, but also maintain a level of control over the class. Doing this too rigidly can result in problems. In this sense there are aspects of...  [Read more]

  So, for the study phase what we're going to do is to show them the idea of the cartoon strip. In the cartoon strip what there's going to be are some people with speech bubbles and this is going to represent where dialogue will appear and in the bottom, there are these rectangular boxes, where there will be descriptive things happening. So, it will explain the actual situation that these people are in. So, we get across the idea, first of all, that these are speech and these are for description and we can then show them a blank one of these cartoon strips and try to elicit from our students what could possibly the people be saying and in what actual situation are they in, in order for them to say that. Once we've gone through that, we can move on to our first study activity and in...  [Read more]

  Here we have a set of five words, which all share one sound: the ?oh? sound, as in ?go?, ?show?, ?dough?, ?note? and ?boat?. They?re five different spelling patterns to tell our students so they can identify when to make the ?oh? sound. We can have a simple letter ?o?, ?ow?, ?ough?, ?o? with the magic ?e? which turns our vowel into what we knew as long sounds and the ?oa? as in ?boat?. Now, for a non-native learner, perhaps they can handle something like this. They remember that these spelling combinations help to produce the ?oh? sound and they can go about their business looking at the words and memorizing this knowing that these spelling patterns will produce the sound ?oh?. Now that?s okay until we get to a situation where we can also have words like ?to?, ?cow? and also...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: I FEEL AS THOUGHT SPEAKING AND WRITING ARE TWO VERY IMPORTANT TOPICS WHEN LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE. SPEAKING IS OBVIOUSLY THE PRIMARY SOURCE FOR COMMUNICATION WHEN GOING TO SCHOOL, ON THE STREET, RUNNING ERRANDS, ETC. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE STUDENTS LEARN TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR POINT ACROSS WHEN SPEAKING. FLUENCY AND ACCURACY ARE IMPORTANT, BUT I THINK FLUENCY IS MOST IMPORTANT. IT IS MUCH EASIER ON A PERSON TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK FREELY, THEN BE CORRECTED. THAT WAY THEY CAN LEARN. IF THEY ARE...  [Read more]

The teacher will have flexibility depending on the needs of the subject matter and the level of the students when not confine on certain methods of teaching. I wish this unit showed more examples of elicitation and prompts with more cultural sensitivity towards the locals we are teaching english with. What I notice are games and activities that are usually played by American kids in school or at home. Maybe you can show...  [Read more]

English is taught differently, whether that be a class of beginners, in one-to-one lessons, a class of children or business people. For beginners, it is important to be patient and clear with them. In one-to-one lessons, the teacher can accommodate to the student?s needs easily. In a class of children, it is important to speak slowly, be prepared to make fun of one?s self and reward them for good performance. With business...  [Read more]

For example, when we use the \"be going to\" structure, the only thing that implies a time in the future is the verb. If we say, \"be starting to\" the structure remains the same but now we're back to present continuous, for example, \"I'm starting to see now.\" Therefore, except in the cases of the future simple, perfect,...  [Read more]

But with the help of the teaching ideas and the course video it outlines the way in which you can teach the different structures and usages to students one very good example is using a diary or schedule to try and work out when you and another...  [Read more]

You could also be interested in: This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned: said: The future tense is complicated and difficult to remember. This unit has 7 tenses. The 'be going + infinitive' e.g. 'It is going to rain later' and the 'present continuous' e.g. 'I am meeting her for coffee tomorrow' are the most commonly used. These tenses need a lot of practice but students may be able to use them correctly without being able to identify the name of the tense.I think the receptive skills are important because these skills allow students to access broader parts of...  [Read more]

I have never heard of conditionals before. Learning about conditionals was really good information that I now feel comfortable teaching someone else. I can see why this would need to be a unit that a person learning English as a foreign language would need to know. Reported speech is also something a student needs to know, because it might be confusing for them if they learned tenses a different way.When teaching beginners teachers should be reminded to...  [Read more]

However, I recognize that these are extremely difficult to learn and master in a foreign language. I often see coffee meetings for people to gather and practice speaking but never see group opportunities to practice writing. I think that writing will be the most challenging aspect of teaching when I reach that point and this unit did provide good base material to build on.This...  [Read more]
