| Certificate in TESOL |
|
|
The Certificate in TESOL is a program designed for graduates with near-native proficiency in English who want to begin a teaching career. It is taught entirely in English, and provides the basic
training for teaching English as a non-native language.
|
|
The program is a four-week intensive program consisting of three course elements linked to teaching practice:
|
|
Language: This course provides the tools for describing and analyzing English. It covers the fundamentals of English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, together with the
structure of talk and written texts. The course addresses geographical, social and stylistic variation in English, and the status of English as a global auxiliary language.
Methodology: This course provides an introduction to contemporary approaches to teaching speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary. Attention is also given to
evaluating, using, creating and supplementing teaching materials.
Classroom interaction: This course focuses on basic teaching practices and techniques, with an emphasis on the classroom environment. The course covers the essentials of classroom
management, classroom ethics, lesson planning, teacher reflection, and the teacher-student relationship.
These three courses are linked to teaching practice and classroom observation of experienced teachers.
