What to Expect from the Program
Students apply theory and concepts practiced in the TESL courses, receive feedback on their teaching from a qualified mentor teacher, and develop a teaching portfolio.
Those who already have a background in teaching can benefit from the program by learning about new theoretical and practical trends in the field and by further developing their teaching abilities.
You do not need a degree to take the NorQuest College TESL program. However, if you decide to pursue professional certification in the future, TESL Canada needs an undergraduate degree and (for non-native speakers of English) a minimum English language proficiency score. Visit the TESL Canada website for more information.
