A Comprehensive Introduction to the world of TESOL

Course review:

If we accept that planet Earth is a multilingual environment where the diversity of language, culture and tradition is highly valued by all, we must also accept that diversity in our educational systems and in the language classrooms in which we, as teachers, teach.

We need to give our students a fighting chance of survival in a global market place as the need to speak English has become essential in almost every aspect of our working lives. I

t’s a simple fact of life that many companies now use English as their first eliminator at job interviews. All applicants have to pass a level control – just to get on to the interview list!

So where does TESOL training fit into these rather broad and sweeping statements?

In my opinion it goes to the very heart - and to try to understand what you (as prospective teachers) and we (as teacher trainers) need to be, a number of things have to be considered.
