The GEOS TESL Certificate Program aims to provide language teaching training to individuals who want to teach English as a Second or Foreign Language. 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 program 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. They will receive feedback from their teachers and peers and will develop an ability to assess their own teaching skills.

This course is available as a 30 lessons/week course. 1 lesson = 45 minutes.
GEOS Victoria's teacher training program is recognized by TESL Canada.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Develop organized and meaningful ESL lesson plans
• Refresh and improve their knowledge, understanding and usage of Modern English (listening, reading, writing and speaking skills, as well as vocabulary and grammar)
• Develop specific skills when teaching listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to non-native speakers
• Develop an understanding of issues related to teaching grammar
• Develop the ability to assess their own teaching skills
