Course Description

 

GEOS Victoria TESL Canada-Recognized Teacher Training Course The GEOS Victoria 4-week TESL Certificate Course (Recognized by TESL Canada) aims to provide language teaching training to individuals who want to teach English as a Second or Foreign Language.  This 4-week program will develop linguistic and cultural competencies in students intending to use their skills in their home country or abroad as teachers of English.  The program is broken down into modules that focus on both theory as well as practice. 
Students will learn how to prepare a lesson, develop engaging classroom activities, and understand issues related to planning and selection of teaching materials.  They will discuss issues related to teaching specific language skills (i.e. listening and speaking, reading and writing, and grammar) and will be given an opportunity to prepare lessons as well as teach in front of peers.  Students will receive feedback from their teachers and peers and will develop an ability to assess their own teaching skills.
