10-hour Telephone Teaching

Module Description

This specialized 10-hour course provides comprehensive training on teaching English remotely through telephone instruction. The curriculum is structured in three main sections: an introduction to telephone teaching that covers the fundamental concepts and challenges of remote language instruction; a detailed exploration of various lesson types specifically adapted for telephone teaching along with techniques for conducting effective needs analysis to customize instruction for individual learners; and practical structures and strategies that help teachers overcome the limitations of non-visual instruction. Throughout the course, participants learn to adapt traditional teaching methodologies to the unique constraints of telephone-based education, developing skills to engage students effectively without visual cues or physical presence. The module addresses practical considerations such as establishing clear communication protocols, managing time efficiently in remote sessions, providing effective feedback, and keeping students motivated and engaged despite the distance. As remote and distance education continue to grow in importance, this course equips TEFL teachers with valuable skills for expanding their teaching practice beyond traditional classroom settings.
