CELTA Course Winner – LIVE Prague Blog

/in , , , , /by

Do you want to know first-hand what it’s really like to take a TEFL course?

Follow our 2014 Suzanne Furstner Scholarship and CELTA course winner, Shervin Hejazi, who has just arrived in Prague to claim his prize of a 4-week Trinity CertTESOL course at our partner school Oxford House TEFL.

Shervin started his course on Monday and is already well under way. When he’s not revising English grammar and carrying out teaching practice in front of fellow students, he’s busy updating his blog with his thoughts and experiences on his TEFL course in Prague – giving would-be teacher trainees a window into the world of a TEFL student, and hopefully inspiring them to do the same! We’re loving Shervin’s blog and we hope you do too!

Thinking of taking a TEFL course? Look no further if you want to WIN a prestigious Trinity CertTESOL course in the historic city of Prague, Czech Republic.

July 1st marked the launch of the 2014 Suzanne Furstner Scholarship, giving would-be teacher trainers the chance to win a TEFL course in an exotic corner of the globe.

This year we’re delighted to announce that the beautiful Czech capital of Prague is home to our scholarship prize of a fantastic 4-week Trinity CertTESOL course, to be taken in 2015.

The scholarship assignment is to write a maximum of 1,000 words on the topic ‘My Dream Teaching Job’, in addition to a short language awareness task. Full details and an application form are available on the Cactus TEFL website, as well as examples of previous winners’ entries. The deadline for submissions is 1st October 2014.

Cactus is proud to run the Suzanne Furstner Scholarship each year as part of the Suzanne Furstner Foundation, which was set up in memory of our much-loved friend and colleague, Suzanne, who we tragically lost in a road accident in Spain in 2006. The Foundation aims to support language and educational projects across the world, a subject that was close to her heart.

Good luck to all those that enter – we’re looking forward to reading your entries and to sending one of you off to train to be teacher in Prague next year!
