How to Plan for the TEFL

The TEFL -- teaching English as a foreign language -- qualification is useful whether you plan to work abroad or wish to teach non-native speakers English in your own country. Much of the coursework involves planning, then teaching, lessons and you are graded on this. A lesson plan is an outline of exactly what and how you plan to teach a class and you should make it as detailed as possible.
