The program 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 Vancouver is broken down into modules that focus on both theory as well as practice.

Students of the TESL Certificate Program in Vancouver 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. They will receive feedback from their teachers and peers and will develop an ability to assess their own teaching skills.
