TEFL – Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Many recent graduates are looking for teaching experience.  Teaching English overseas is a huge market with a lot of possibilities. 

This course will give participants the tools they need to be effective ESL teachers, in particular for those who wish to teach abroad. 

Throughout the 7 weeks, participants will be exposed to various teaching methods.  In addition to the 60-hour course, students will also have a 5-hour practicum observation. 

Homework will be given regularly and a reflection report is due at the end of the course.  90% attendance and a passing grade of 70% is required to receive a certificate.

This is considered a 120-hour course, which takes into account class time, practicum observation, the preparation time for the sample lesson given at the end of term, homework and all other related course work.

International students must provide evidence of language proficiency in English by sending us a copy of either a TOEFL or IELTS score.  

Students who have completed their studies at a Cegep or University must forward a copy of their degree.  Students must have an upper-intermediate level or higher of English to take this course.
