TESOL Course in EGYPT, Alexandria
 Why
TEFL in Alexandria, Egypt?
Egypt is the second oldest civilization in the world. The land of the
pharaohs, the sphinx, the pyramids, the mummies and the Nile, Egypt has
remained a mystery for the world. It is a land that has been the granary
of Europe and the legend of Cleopatra. For long Egypt and its rich
culture and ancient tradition has been an enigma that tourists,
travelers and historians have wanted to experience and unravel.
European, Arabic and its own traditional culture, have influenced the
“Gift of the Nile”, which makes Egypt what it is today.
A TESOL Certificate Program from
TEFL International that too is
embedded in a sound tradition of teaching and developing skill sets is
complemented here by the cultural, traditional and historical grandeur
of Egypt.
What is the attraction in Egypt?
Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria was the capital of
Graeco-Roman Egypt. The setting for the stormy relationship between
Cleopatra and Mark Antony, Alexandria was also the center of learning in
the ancient world. But ancient Alexandria declined, and when Napoleon
landed, he found a sparsely populated fishing village. From the 19th
century Alexandria took a new role, as a focus for Egypt's commercial
and maritime expansion.
The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria, known as "The Pearl of the
Mediterranean", has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle
Eastern ; its ambience and cultural heritage distance it from the rest
of the country although it is actually only 225 km. from Cairo. This
exclusivity of Egypt has also helped it to qualify as one of the popular
locations among the wannabe TEFL teachers
taking up the 4-weeks TESOL Program.
Alexandria, that charming city, presents to every visitor the fragrance
of the past rich in history, civilization and culture. It is the city
that has attracted the greatest men of letters in the world and is
continuing the tradition by attracting tourists from world over to
strengthen their academic dexterity with the help of the
TESOL Certificate Program.
Once the centre of the ancient world, Alexandria has let most of its
historical monuments disappear. But the Egyptian city still has plenty
to offer its visitors. Explore the bustling streets and souks and
discover a vibrant street life, an unparalleled welcome and an
uninhibited cultural exchange to augment your
TEFL training weeks.
What is in Egypt for you?
Alexandria is a wonderful city to get lost in. Throw away your map and
walk into a back alley and witness the extreme kindness and generosity
of the people. Listen to the stories and immerse yourself in the
culture. Watch the sun set at Alexandria’s water front avenue.
Alexandria is still recognized globally a city of legends even though
the city of the past is now in the collective memory of the art and
writing. Visit the museum, stand in the sand, taste the food, feel the
culture and experience the adventure.
On the tourist map
Alexandria with its Greaco- Roman, Islamic and Christian influences is a
veritable store house of historical artifacts and monuments. One can see
the Amphitheatre, the Qait bay Fort, the Royal Jewellery Museum, the
Montazah Palace, the ancient Library and the University. It is
undoubtedly a unique learning experience for all those
TEFL teachers who are constantly on
lookout for new and interesting input for their ESL classrooms.
Weekend excursion
The TESOL location Alexandria
is blessed with the Mediterranean climate and a 40 km beach with smooth
sand and beautiful landscape. Apart from spending time on the beach and
inspecting all the historical monuments you can take a stroll in the
Antoniadis Gardens, as and when you are free from the
TEFL lessons and
ESL teaching practice sessions. It
contains a collection of statues built according to the Greek style.
These statues together with the trees and flowers mixed up with them
form a homogenous cordon around the Antoniadis Palace. The Antoniadis
palace and its park are constructed as a miniature of the Palace of
Versailles. The Shallalat Gardens is an uneven park consisting of small
hills, valleys and small streams, and contains an artificial pond. The
International Garden lies at the entrance of the desert road. It
comprises several cultural and recreational activities, galleries, water
sports and restaurants. The excursion options are replete with moments
of pleasure and enjoyment that would help the
TESOL trainees to rejuvenate themselves.
