Samantha now living back in Australia but did spend 3 years in Bali teaching ESL for Nova ITTO and found I enjoyed it. So now looking at getting my ESL accreditation and teaching from my laptop in Brisbane Australia.

Hi Karl, thanks for this, I find these videos extremely helpful. I have just had my first online lesson with six students. It went very well thanks to your advice. I wish I had known about TEFL years ago when I was (a lot) younger! I'm hoping to gain skills in IELTS preparation going forward 🙂

Great to hear you find them useful, Melanie! Are you planning on teaching small groups online, or branching out into 1:1 lessons?

Interesting that tutor Carl here suggests using the PPP lesson plan format for an online lesson. Doesn’t this contradict what is said on The TEFL Org’s own telephone/online course, that a Before, During and After format should be used instead of the traditional PPP when teaching online?

[@TEFLorg]

PPP is one model for planning a lesson - there are others such as Before, During and After and Engage, Study and Activate. All models have their advantages and disadvantages. You can choose to use different models depending on the lesson, class, level and learner style

[@MrChile01]

OK, thanks. That's good to know. Maybe, then, what is taught on your Telephone Teaching Course regarding lesson structures could be modified in line with this advice.

[@TEFLorg]

@@MrChile01 Delivering lessons over the telephone is slightly different to conducting lessons over Zoom or Skype. A telephone class is normally 30 minutes long and students want most of the time interacting. So, in the Before, we give the students the language etc. to study. Then in the During (30 min. class), they do the speaking practise, focusing on the language they learned in the Before. After is usually homework.
