Teach English as a Foreign Language

Interested in traveling the world while teaching or changing your career?

EC Boston offers a Certificate Program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language
(Sometimes called TEFL or TESOL).

Program Description
The goals of our TEFL Certificate course in Boston are to teach you, in a short amount of time, what will be of the most value to you as you begin to teach ESL/EFL. At EC Boston, teacher trainers have the opportunity to observe our expert instructors while mingling with international students who have come from all over the world to study at EC Boston. In small classes, trainees learn which methods work best and why. They combine theory with the practice of teaching volunteer students. Teacher feedback provides additional valuable support to first-time teachers. Trainees learn how to set goals, address different learning styles, plan classes, evaluate text books, manage classroom atmosphere, test students, and even about materials development and professional development. In addition to all this, teacher trainees put together a large portfolio of course materials, lesson plans and job research which can be used throughout their teaching careers.
