Immersion "Learning By Doing" for ESL Students and Teachers

What is Immersion Learning?..."Learning By Doing" 

(The Facing and Knowing of Fear)

Fear can be a resistance or motivating factor depending on how a person chooses to react to and cope with an unfamiliar setting. It can either hinder self-confidence or enhance it depending upon how we perform under pressure. Often, some of the biggest reward for many professions requires individuals to not only confront their fears, but use them to push themselves toward overcoming them as part of the growth and success process.

In the Paradise TEFL English Certification program it is important that participants seize the opportunity to challenge themselves and come out of it stronger and more adequately prepared. Unfortunately many folks considering enrollment often undermine their abilities to learn new skills by expressing that they don’t know enough grammar, or understand their syntax well enough to go for it. Don’t let fear dictate or deter you from accomplishing your goal of traveling, studying and obtaining a job overseas.

Immersion, is a process of “learning by doing,” and is the same process which you learned your own native language of English by living in an English speaking country, picking up on and utilizing all the verbal, visual and kinesthetic clues as they appear in the surrounding world. 

This is also going to be how you are going to familiarize and adapt to your new teaching country and its surroundings in order to become comfortable and adept in living and working in a foreign culture. 

By understanding the customs, traditions, and lifestyle, as well as interpreting body language and listening for phrases you recognize, eventually you will move beyond your fear threshold to become experienced, seasoned and more refined.

 Paradise TEFL graduates are among the most successful y placed of Native English Speakers around. Our instructors specialize in getting to know you as a person and helping to enhance and improve your individual strengths and weaknesses.  We take great pride in treating you as a professional with specific needs and interests and tailor our program to meet those needs every single time.

Don’t let your fear of the unknown or preconceived notions steer you away from going for your goal and making the kind of future for yourself that you envision and aspire to create. 

The bottom line is, the old adage that you don’t have anything to fear except fear itself hold relevance.  It’s important not to pretend that there is “NO FEAR” in their minds when making a big step like studying overseas, rather the wiser choose to KNOW FEAR and use it to better themselves and those students who gain new opportunities by learning English as a second language.

Whatever plan of action an unemployed educator decides to take, in general, the more advanced certifications a TEFL or TESOL Teacher holds, the more opportunity they possess in terms of their marketability and increased number of employment options. For a limited time, we offer these advanced certifications such as TOFEL, IELTS, and TEYL at the SAME PRICE as the basic TEFL/TESOL certification!

The advanced course provides additional English Language teaching certifications and is offered in tandem with our site course in Chiang Mai Thailand, or as a complete series of online modules.  You should have already completed a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA course first in order to be eligible and teaching experience is necessary. (Our on-site program provides 2 to 3 weeks of hands on observed teaching practice to help our teachers to effectively develop their skills).

All courses are certified and you will receive a certificate of completion, which is internationally recognized and accepted when you graduate from the course. Many of those who already have experience as TEFL instructors are finding that becoming a certified TEFL trainer is another opportunity and feather in their cap in terms of meeting the demand of TEFL instructors (who are leaving their home countries and working abroad) by teaching others how to teach TEFL effectively. 

Graduates with these additional certifications have the advantage of substantially increasing their marketability and employment status. Improve your chances of getting a good job with a higher level of pay by enrolling today!
