Taking your regular TEFL or TESOL certificate up to the next level is a serious decision. It's hard work, expensive, and needs consideration. Having a DELTA or DipTESOL opens doors in academic department management, higher-paid jobs, as well higher recognition in the field. We lay out the difference between the DELTA and the DipTESOL.

5 ways to improve speaking skills in your EFL classes
Speaking is one of the most important skills for anyone to have, as it helps individuals communicate their thoughts, ideas, and emotions effectively. It is a vital part of language learning and a crucial aspect of personal and professional development. Research has shown that language learners are keen to improve their speaking skills above all other core skills when learning a language.
Here are 5 ways to improve speaking skills in your EFL classes
Encourage Active Practice: one of the most effective ways to develop speaking skills is through active practice. Encourage your students to participate in conversations, role-plays, debates, and other interactive speaking activities that require them to use the language. The key is production. This will not only help them become more confident in speaking, but it will also give them the opportunity to practice their pronunciation, intonation, and vocabulary in a fun and engaging way. Teaching Speaking is one of the core units in the Higher Certificate of TESOL, a Level 4 qualification accredited by ACTDEC.
Emphasise Pronunciation: Good pronunciation is key to effective communication, and it is important to teach this aspect of speaking from the start. To help students improve their pronunciation, teachers can use videos, audio recordings, as well as themselves as a language model. Additionally, teachers can use pronunciation exercises, such as minimal pairs or repetition drills, to help students become more aware of their pronunciation errors and correct them. Feedback is important in pronunciation, and it should be given quickly, so students can actually use the feedback.
Develop Vocabulary: A rich vocabulary is essential for effective speaking. Encourage students to learn new words and expressions by using flashcards, vocabulary games, and real-life scenarios. It is also important to teach students how to use these words in context and how to express their thoughts and feelings in a clear and concise way. Reading is a great way to build vocabulary and you can read our blog post on how to teach reading in a second language here.
Use Authentic Materials: To make speaking practice more meaningful and engaging, use authentic materials such as news articles, films, and audio recordings of native speakers. This will help students to improve their listening skills and learn new vocabulary, expressions, and cultural knowledge. Authentic materials can also be used as a starting point for conversations and discussions, allowing students to apply what they have learned in a practical and relevant way. The 180-Hour Higher Certificate in TESOL has an entire unit dedicated to using supplementary materials and the importance of using authentic materials in language teaching.
Give Feedback: Regular and on-going feedback is an essential part of the speaking-practice classes, as it helps students to identify how and where they can improve. Feedback can be provided through individual or group feedback sessions, where teachers can focus on specific areas such as pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary usage. It is also important to provide students with positive reinforcement, such as compliments or praise, to boost their confidence and motivation.
Effective speaking skills are essential for personal and professional success, and they are important to your students. By encouraging active practice, emphasising pronunciation, developing vocabulary, using authentic materials, and providing feedback, teachers can help students become more confident and effective communicators. With the right approach and techniques, teaching speaking can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for both teachers and students.

Stickers and stars are classics as a reward system for young learner classes, but what happens when children grow out of these and no longer respond to this motivation?
