If you are in search of a TESOL Certificate Program, I suggest you look no further. Teachers College at Columbia University is the best place to start your journey. The program features all of the key components of making you successful: a rigorous curriculum, qualified mentor guidance, hands-on teaching in the Community Language Program, and a mix of online and onsite portions of the course that meets any learning style.
I really enjoyed each and every second of being in this wonderful program. It was intense, but definitely the most enjoyable learning experience I have ever had. Personally, the Program helped me to enhance my knowledge in the major fields of language teaching and teaching techniques. In particular, Classroom Practices has deepened my understanding of lesson planning, feedback types, self-assessment, time-management, student’s agency and so much more. Completing the Program gave me a quick jump-start into the ESOL field and the confidence I was lacking. Currently, I enjoy teaching beginner-level ESL at the JCH Community Center in Brooklyn.
