What other things should I consider when packing?

When packing for a TEFL/TESOL course, there are several other things you should consider to ensure you have everything you need for a successful training experience:

  1. Documents: Make sure you have all necessary documents, such as your passport, visa (if required), course enrollment confirmation, and any other relevant paperwork.
  2. Clothing: Pack clothes suitable for teaching practice sessions, which are often more formal than casual wear. Also, consider the climate of the location where you will be training and pack accordingly.
  3. Teaching Materials: Bring any materials you may need for teaching practice, such as flashcards, markers, and teaching aids you find useful.
  4. Technology: Consider bringing a laptop or tablet for lesson planning, as well as any adapters or converters you may need for the country where you will be training.
  5. Medications: If you have any prescription medications, make sure you have an ample supply to last for the duration of your course.
  6. Personal Items: Don't forget toiletries, personal hygiene products, and any comfort items that will make your stay more enjoyable. By considering these additional items when packing for your TEFL/TESOL course, you can ensure that you are well-prepared for the training and teaching experience ahead.
