If you're hoping to teach English to people who don't speak English as their first language, Varsity Tutors can enroll you in a Washington DC TESOL certification course. TESOL is an abbreviation for "Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages" and is a term used to describe both TESL and TEFL. The term TESL is used when teaching English as a second language to individuals residing in English-speaking countries. TEFL is used to describe teaching English as a foreign language in places where English is not a commonly used language. It's important to note that there is no particular degree, license, or certification that allows one to teach ESL or EFL. TESOL certification can be obtained through a number of organizations, each having its own structure and requirements. Every school can have different local guidelines relating to how instructors can earn the right to work in this field. For instance, in the United States, an instructor must gain a teaching license in the state where they wish to teach.
Some certification programs are short-term and incorporate instructional sessions followed by an assessment of some sort. Others are longer and include workshops, ability tests, seminars, and different exercises. These programs can be offered by private companies or can take place during your college courses, whether you attended a school such as Georgetown University, George Washington University, Howard University, or another educational institution. The TESOL International Association is one well-known organization that offers certificate programs. Members have access to virtual classes, online seminars, workshops, teaching resources, and job search assistance. There are multiple member types in the TESOL International Association: New Professional, Professional, and TESOL student, among others.
The TESOL International Association offers various certificate programs. Whether you're hoping to earn one of their certificates in the TESOL Core Certificate Program, TESOL Certificate: Advanced Practitioner, or TESOL Certificate: Developing an Online Teaching Program, Varsity Tutors can get you enrolled in a class that can help you review the proper material and skills you'll need to know on the exam. Your instructor can cover topics such as teaching styles, curriculum planning, and different techniques for teaching speaking skills to help you in your future TESOL career. You will also be able to collaborate with your peers and engage in various discussions about topics such as how to assess reading proficiency, presentation of lesson plans, or how to explain prosody.
In addition to reviewing the material you'll need to know to do well in your particular program, you can also receive assistance with learning appropriate study skills. For example, your online sessions can include lessons on proper time management skills. You'll need to know how to make time to do your assignments for your program and how to meet your deadlines. Teaching in a TESOL position also requires careful time management since you'll be creating lesson plans and meeting deadlines. This means your TESOL course can teach you skills that will help you in both your program and your future career.
Our courses are led by knowledgeable teachers who are qualified to share their experience and help you reach for your certification goals. Each instructor is carefully interviewed to ensure they have the correct expertise and communication skills to teach you adequately. Teachers have extensive experience with TESOL certification.
