CONNECT was opened in 2010 in the city of Zory, by two native English speakers with over 12 years teaching experience in Poland. After a couple of successful years in Żory, we expanded into Rybnik in August 2012.

Both Krakow and Katowice have major train stations and airports. Ostrava in the Czech Republic is only 40 minutes away and is home to the popular Colours festival.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

This unit explained the differences in teaching specific language structures, like vocabulary or grammatical structure. There are similarities in the way that these pillars of English should be taught, but the distinction between them is important to keep in mind. This unit also reminds me how to use the the staple that is the ESA teaching method, which is key to keep fresh in my mind.As a teacher I need to be able to inspire confidence in my students. I need to discern when to be firm and when to leave my students alone. I need to decide which classroom set up best suits my students and classroom size. Eye contact gestures and my voice is important within my classroom. I need to avoid unnecessary teacher talk time. I need to develop a good rapport with my students.
