how to structure, plan and conduct classes for students of different age groups
and level of English.

opportunities for me." Alena Huberova
Alumni Testimonials
"I chose to take up this project as I wanted some training in Teaching. I
already have a teacher’s degree from India but was not able to take up a formal
training. Moreover, I will be staying in Thailand for three years. So taking up
this course might help me in getting a teaching job in Thailand.
It was a great experience, especially going to the classrooms and teaching. It
gave us all the experience of real teaching and the issues connected to
teaching. The feedbacks form peers and the lessons helped us a lot to improve
our own style." Shalini Menon

am grateful." David Cantor

they wanted a TEFL certificate. That was when I thought there was something
beyond B. Ed. and M. Ed. that was a prerequisite in few countries. So
I chose ATI Kolkata." Viviana, ItalyAlumni Testimonials

preferably in India and in Kolkata. I research ATI on the internet and only
found positive comments about it. It was also more affordable than some other
courses.
I enjoyed my experience in Kolkata and with ATI. The course was very relevant
and useful. The trainers were good and were available questions" Brain Meehan,
Ireland
"The 3 week of TESOL training experience was just awesome. The trainer has
delivered the best and the teaching technique has been well taught. Above all
the TP has given us a very good exposure without which this program could not
have been successful." Jisha Mathew
