The field of TEFL/TESOL represents one of the fastest-growing educational sectors worldwide. It presents thousands of excellent professional opportunities for teaching English abroad in all corners of the globe to native and fluent English speakers who earn their TESOL certification.
TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. The acronym represents the academic certification itself, as well as the international organization that advocates for best practices in TESOL education. TESOL is geared toward students learning English in an English-speaking country, but it can also be used abroad.
This 200+ hour certificate is recognized and accepted worldwide.
Students will learn:
- Introduction to Linguistics
- Methods of Teaching ESL
- Assessment in TESOL
- Teaching Grammar, Reading, and Writing to English Language Learners
- and will create a practicum portfolio.
This certification course is broken down into 5 separate online mini-sessions:
Module 1: 8/26 - 10/11
Module 2: 10/21- 12/6
Module 4: 1/13- 2/28

A TESOL Certificate is one of the tools that can help people qualify to teach English to non-native English speakers either abroad or in English-speaking countries. Though a TESOL Certification is not required in all teaching jobs for English language learners, it certainly opens the doors to many more opportunities. Successful completion will result in students' receiving an internationally recognized (non-credit) TESOL Certification.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), ESL learners number over 5 million students and comprise about 10% of the entire student body in U.S. K-12 classrooms. In addition, more than one billion people are learning English worldwide. So the demand for ESL teachers with TESOL credentials is very high.
