The GEOS TESL Certificate Program in Calgary aims to provide language teaching training to individuals who want to teach English as a Second or Foreign Language. The TESL Certificate Program in Calgary will develop linguistic and cultural competencies in students intending to use their skills in their home country or abroad as teachers of English. The TESL Certificate Program in Calgary is broken down into modules that focus on both theory as well as practice.

Students will learn how to prepare a lesson, and issues related to planning selection of materials to teach. They will discuss issues related to teaching specific language skills (i.e. listening and speaking, reading and writing, and grammar) and will be given an opportunity to prepare lessons and teach in front of peers. Students of the TESL Certificate Program in Calgary will receive feedback from their teachers and peers and will develop an ability to assess their own teaching skills.

The TESL Certificate Program in Calgary is available as a 30 lessons/week course and as a 40 lessons/week course. 1 lesson = 45 minutes.
