|
|
Hello there,
I would appreciate some advice on a possible career move that I'm thinking of making. The job is with a language school in Rome called ALS, a UK based company. Their approach to teaching is rather different to my own experience. Teachers are expected to adopt the school's methodology.
From what I understand this is largely based around the teacher introducing new vocabulary to the students by repetition and the students duly reproduce the language. Students are not allowed to ask questions during the learning process. It all seems a little mechanical to me. What I find a little unusual is that no TEFL qualification is deemed necessary as teachers are given training by the company before entering the classroom. Has anyone heard of this company and/or their approach? Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Martin |
