The in-class TESOL teacher training programs are designed for upper-intermediate to advanced level international students and Canadians who want to learn how to teach English to speakers of other languages.
These programs focus on the communicative approach and include methodology, teaching theories, teaching strategies, and practical techniques for teaching English grammar, speaking, reading, listening, and writing. The programs also highlight the use of various elements such as music, art, and drama in the classroom.
The certificate program runs for 50 hours and is ideal for students who want to acheive an understanding of the fundamentals of ESL teaching and its practice. The diploma program runs for 100 hours and is more suitable for students who wish to study for a longer period and in more depth.
These are intensive and exciting programs that include an integrated practicum with a lot of student presentations and practice teaching to prepare students to teach in the real classroom!
Students who successfully complete the TESOL programs will receive the institute's Official TESOL Certificate or Diploma.
