Face-to-face and online teaching: Changes in the TEFL scene
Gone are the days when teaching and learning only took place in physical classrooms. We are now in the 21st century, surrounded by technology. Thanks to the internet, you can find information on anything in any language…in seconds. Even apps have changed language learning as we know it.
Nowadays, anyone can access a language learning curriculum that will allow them to learn at their own pace. Furthermore, they can get through course material on the go, and access games, quizzes, and even entertaining videos that all help them learn a language a little more every day.
And, since life can be fast-paced, many may see having to go to an in-person class as a hassle. Not to mention, the pandemic brought about a new awareness of health and safety. Given this, online learning has incorporated itself into the educational system all around the world. Many English language learners now opt for online classes. However, in-person classes are still the norm. Many still prefer having face-to-face classes where they can interact with people without a screen or internet connection getting in the way.
Thanks to technology, people can learn on the go, making online learning very convenient and efficient. At the same time, since nothing beats face-to-face interaction, many people still prefer in-person classes. This has brought about a major change in the English teaching landscape.

Face-to-face and online teaching: Fill up your schedule with teaching hours
For example, in Europe, it is quite easy for certified English teachers to take on both face-to-face and online classes. They typically teach face-to-face English classes in the mornings, working directly with schools. This class type usually consists of kids or teenagers.
Then, in the afternoon, English teachers can take advantage of the schedules of working adults. Many adult language learners who need to learn English for use in their careers tend to opt for online classes from around 13:30 to 17:30. This is usually the time people in the working sector get a break from work.
In the evenings, you get a mix. Some English language learners opt to go to a face-to-face class while others prefer to learn online.
This mix makes it easy for English teachers with a Trinity CertTESOL to fill up their day with class hours. And, more hours means more money. So this means that being certified for both face-to-face and online teaching will not only help you stay relevant but will also help you earn more!

Face-to-face and online teaching: A graduate’s perspective
Read what one of our graduates had to say about how the course transformed her into an English teacher certified for both face-to-face and online teaching:
“Before starting the course, I had zero ideas on how to teach kids and how to teach people,” she said. “Starting from zero, you know…I would always say, ‘I prefer to deal with more complex questions…I’m sorry.’ But after those specific classes, it was a completely different experience.
“Like learning a new language at this age. With an adult’s mind. It’s really difficult, but it was so easy to get all those things here. Like, it was really amazing. And another, another thing I would say, teaching Spanish people.”
“I had worked with a lot of Spanish students. And just the perspective that the course gave me changed how I even approached my Spanish students in class. Like the problems. You really become aware that the same teaching style would not work (all the time). Like you have to change it, depending on the nationality or even the people that you’re teaching.”
Face-to-face and online teaching: Be transformed by the EBC Trinity CertTESOL course
As for her thoughts on the course, she said, “I would recommend this course to everyone…I would pay good money for a course that is going to be beneficial. I don’t have any problem (with) that. People might (be) like, ‘Oh my God,’ that’s why they go for the cheapest option. But I definitely recommend this course to everyone.
“I learned a lot, and in a short amount of time, you get transformed into a teacher. You learn a lot of things. (And) I think that doesn’t have a price because it’s going to keep (going). Like, you’re a teacher for the rest of your life. You’re transformed completely, you have all the skills, you have (the foundation), and you have all the techniques. You (even) know how to (make) lesson plans.”
