[Plsugs] FW: [3D Memos] Online Basic and Advanced TEFL Programs at CESL

[Tanya Quist]

Teach English... 
  ...See the world. 

Are you going to graduate soon? Or are you thinking of what you're going to
do after you retire? Well, here's an option to consider: Teach English
Abroad! 

The University of Arizona's Center for English as a Second Language (CESL)
is an established leader in English language teacher training with decades
of experience in the US and abroad. Beginning in October, CESL will once
again be administering its unique online teacher training course for
certification to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). 

The TEFL Certificate Program is the entry-level, international benchmark for
qualified English language teacher training. Once again this academic year,
CESL is offering 8-week 50-hour Online Basic or Advanced TEFL programs, as
well as a 20-hour observational and teaching practicum. The 50-hour courses
will run from October 13 through December 6, 2012, and will be taught
entirely online via the University of Arizona's Desire to Learn (D2L) course
delivery system. 

The 50-hour Online Basic TEFL program emphasizes essential foundations in
language teaching theory, methodology, curriculum development, and
assessment techniques. It is intended to provide comprehensive preparation
for novice teachers who intend to teach English for short-terms abroad or in
a volunteer capacity in the US. 

 

The 50-hour Online Advanced TEFL program is intended for in-service teachers
with two or more years of experience or for teachers who have completed the
50-hour Basic and are interested in more advanced coursework. (An additional
20-hour practicum is required for novice teachers.) It is designed to
provide advanced coursework in instructional methods of the four skills and
classroom management techniques.

The course design is extremely user friendly and largely self paced, and it
can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Regular access to a
computer and reliable internet connection are the only technical
prerequisites to participation. See our website for additional
prerequisites.
