This teacher training course provides you with practical teaching experiences, develops your knowledge of teaching methodology and improves your own English language skills. The TESOL course is a 5-week module that can be studied as part of a General English programme. No previous teaching experience is required. You also have the option of sitting the internationally recognised University of Cambridge TKT exam. |
| WHO IS IT FOR? |
| The TESOL Course is for non-native speakers of English who are either already teaching English in their own countries or would like to in the future. |
