Your swear-in ceremony is over and it’s time to go to work. During Pre-Service Training, Peace Corps staff impressed upon you the importance of successful integration into your new community. Many volunteers have discovered that starting an English course early in their service is a great way to meet the local people, build essential relationships, and show the community that they’re ready to get down to business. After all, Peace Corps Volunteers arrive in the country with one common skill that many Costa Ricans desire: the ability to speak English. But does speaking the language necessarily mean that we can effectively transfer that skill? We understand that during PST there isn’t enough time to cover everything you need to know about TEFL. This is the reason why my wife Megon and I, who are both public school teachers in Alaska, were inspired to create TEFL with Ticos — a manual that contains 60 lesson plans, 28 review sheets, and dozens of inexpensive and easy-to-create digital resources. The purpose of this manual is to guide Volunteers who want to teach a beginner-level English class or contribute lesson plan ideas as they work with Costa Rican English teachers. There are many things to consider as you begin to lay the groundwork for a successful English course. Here are some of the questions we had to ask ourselves: • Who are we going to teach? Adults? Kids? • How many people are we going to teach? • Where and when will the class take place? During the day or at night? • Does the facility have tables, chairs, chalkboard, bathrooms, electricity? • What kind of English class will this be? Tourism? Conversational? • Why do these students need, or even want, to learn English? • How will we advertise? A flyer? Word of mouth? • Do we need to pay to use the facility or the electricity? • How long will each class be? An hour? Hour and a half? • How long will the course run? A couple months? Our entire service? While you look over these lesson plans, review sheets and digital resources, it’s important to keep in mind that these were developed based on our community’s needs. The order in which we taught the lessons was determined by many factors: what our students struggled with, a question in a previous class, or sometimes an upcoming event. The lessons included in this manual and the order in which they are arranged are merely suggestions. We highly encourage you to adapt these lessons to fit your students’ needs. Good luck!
