English is studied extensively in native English-speaking countries now more than ever.

Course Overview:

Learn how to teach English in USA, Canada, Australia, England, or in any other native
English speaking country. Millions of students study English daily in native English
speaking countries. Teach English in ESL schools in your home country by learning
how and what to teach, where to look for work, and how to promote yourself as a local
English teacher and/or tutor.

Teaching ESL Locally is becoming an increasingly popular industry, as the number
of newcomers/immigrants to native English speaking countries continues to increase
annually. Your TESOL teaching skills will place you in an employable and lucrative
industry, in your home country.

Working with newcomer/immigrant ESL students demands special TESOL skills,
knowledge and experience. It is also an area of teaching that is common for
experienced teachers as well as newcomers to this field, and each position asks for
different requirements. Students are highly motivated since learning English has clear
advantages for them personally.

The teacher also needs to be highly flexible. Teaching ESL needs vary from student to
student, but each person will have specific demands and needs for their individual
desired results. Classrooms with multiple native languages also pose interesting
challenges one might not initially expect.
