TESOL Observation & Practice

This is the last required course in the TESOL certificate program.

Course Description

This course provides participants with chances to observe, experience, and practice the principles taught throughout the TESOL certificate program, through observation experiences and teaching simulations. Students will observe classrooms in multiple settings and reflect on their observations, and they will then prepare and present their own lessons in the online course, tailored to a specific learner audience. A combination of self-reflection and professional critique will provide participants with the information needed to improve culturally responsive teaching practices.

Please register for the course at least two weeks prior to the start date.

EDUC X485.7 TESOL Observation and Practice should be taken after a minimum of five required TESOL courses have been successfully completed.
