Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages - TESOL

   English is a valuable tool for missions. TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) will open doors for you in closed countries and equip you with the skills you need to teach English cross-culturally.

   Course Description

   Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages is an intensive four week course that equips students to teach English cross-culturally. The course covers the theories and methods of teaching English, classroom management, learning styles, principles of language acquisition, and how to teach basic English grammar.
