170 HOUR TESOL CERTIFICATION
170 Hours TESOL Certification
The Teach International 170-hour TESOL Certificate empowers the international educator with a foundation in TESOL methodology and grammar knowledge on which a specialism of 70 hours in Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL)/Teaching English to Children is built. The Teach educator can prepare more extensively as well as intensively for different facets of handling young learner lessons effectively.
Our 170-hour TESOL course provides Teach educators with a broad base of knowledge with which to meet the needs of young learners learning English alongside their mother tongue and differentiating for variations in developmental stages. Catering to young learners demands, skilful manipulation of materials and effective scaffolding of content is presented in order to optimise the students learning experience. Specifically, because the young learner English segment is projected to continue growing substantially as different countries integrate English language lessons into their curricula in the primary years, specialising in TEYL is a wise strategy for the Teach educator passionate about making a difference in children’s English language education.
