Although for the purposes of this program we are using the terminology of EFL-Teaching English as a Foreign Language it all equally applies to those more familiar with the term TESOL - Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

For the purposes of this course it is assumed that you already have basic computer keyboard skills, can copy and paste, have an e-mail address and know how to use the Internet.

No specific technical knowledge is required.However, you may find the Introduction to Computers and Windows XP course useful.  Please note: While broadband is not absolutely essential it is highly recommended, as it is very problematic having a slow connection.

The way the course works:

The Dip TEO has six modules which are divided into two sections each. The first section gives a broad overview of the topic and the second section, the Online Workshop, deals with putting your teaching into practice online. The ethos of the course is learning by discovery so you will find the course challenging but this will enable you to progress independently after the course has finished. As with all learning, you will keep evolving and developing your skills.
