TESOL
Course Description
The purpose of the TESOL course is to acquaint and familiarize students with the skills, and abilities needed in order to become a successful English Teacher to students who are native speakers of other languages. Students will cover a wide variety of different topics, including lessons on how to present vocabulary, self-evaluation, using visual aids, lesson planning, test preparation, and much, much more. Students taking the TESOL course can expect:
- Intense classes focused on improving presentation skills and acquiring necessary knowledge relevant to teaching
- Daily homework assignments
- A focus on acquiring vocabulary relevant to teaching
- Daily feedback on progress
Nearing the end of this course, students will be asked to prepare a lesson which they will present in class, and will then be thoroughly evaluated following the presentation. A final test will also be administered to ensure that students have acquired all the necessary knowledge needed to become a successful ESL teacher. This is a 4 week long, full time course, and requires a great amount of effort on the part of the student.
