TESOL Online (Blended) program is offered by Queen TESOL Centre in affiliation with Vancouver International College-Career Campus, Canada, and dedicated to preparing our student-teachers for teaching in classrooms both at home and abroad. This program covers the four mains skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as the key systems (lexis, phonology, grammar, and function) inherent in language teaching. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of the modern classroom and the techniques and skills needed to facilitate learning – from eliciting and asking concept check questions to reducing teacher talk time and increasing student-centred learning. Our program is full of practical teaching tips. Students will learn the essential skills for modern day English language teaching at their own pace from home.
