Why CCELT
TEFL, TESL, and TESOL Courses
ESL (English a Second Language) training courses are an excellent way to become familiar with the how-to of teaching English and to learn about the methodologies and best practices of ESL instruction. Taking a TESL course can help you prepare for teaching abroad or at home and will ensure you are an effective English teacher.
Why Take a TESL Course?
Imagine you are standing in front of 30 people and you have been asked to teach them about nouns for an hour. What would you do? Where do you start?
TESL certification gives you the tools to create an interactive and engaging classroom environment, along with the knowledge to effectively teach English to non-native speakers with appropriate behaviour management strategies.
The international teaching field has dramatically changed over the past 10 years, with an increasing number of countries aspiring to improve English proficiency. The demand for ESL teachers has risen accordingly and as a result, the expectations of public and private institutions hiring ESL teachers have increased.
As a new member of the ESL teaching profession, having TESL certification provides you with the foundation for becoming a successful teacher, and also helps to create realistic expectations with regards to teaching abroad, job prospects, and life in the classroom. As an experienced ESL teacher, obtaining certification enhances your resume, broadens your knowledge of technology integration in the classroom, and builds on your current ESL teaching pedagogy.
