Course Overview:
Our Graduate TESOL Course was developed to further establish and expand on the concepts covered in our Foundation TESOL Course. Completion of this course is recommended for our TESOL Diploma Programs; however, anyone who has completed our Foundation TESOL Course and who would like to excel may also take this course. Augment your current teaching abilities and learn more about your favourite topics in our Foundation TESOL Course. This course will allow you to gain a greater depth and breadth of knowledge in the TESOL field and thus improve your capabilities as a TESOL teacher.
Building from your already established foundation as a Certified TESOL Teacher, the Graduate TESOL Course goes into more detail, covering topics such as lesson planning, classroom management, methodology, student/teacher feedback and evaluation, educational technology, designing a syllabus, the history of the English language, and problem-solving for the ESL/EFL classroom.
