TESOL - Teaching English as a Second Language or Other Language

Course Description

Our 8-week TESOL course consists of 160 hours of theory and 40 hours of practicum.   

The TESOL Course is a teacher-training program designed to provide students with the necessary skills and confidence to teach and tutor English as a second language. Students participate in real lesson planning, class observation and teaching. The program is broken down into modules that focus on both theory as well as practice. Students will learn how to prepare a lesson, develop engaging classroom activities, and understand issues related to planning and selection of teaching materials. They will discuss issues related to teaching specific language skills (i.e. listening and speaking, reading and writing, and grammar) and will be given an opportunity to prepare lessons as well as teach in front of peers. Students will receive feedback from their teachers and peers and will develop an ability to assess their own teaching skills.
