Module One

People of all ages and from a wide variety of backgrounds have identified that a good working knowledge of English can be the key to improved job prospects, movement up the career ladder, and a better standard of living and accompanying quality of life.

Parents now realise that it is vital for their children to have English as a second language in order to complete in the workplace.

In Switzerland, for example, in the French speaking cantons English is replacing German as first foreign language to be studied at school, and in the Swiss German speaking cantons the same thing is happening with English pushing French aside as the second language.

Many of the larger multi-national companies have established English as the language of the workplace, no matter where the office is in Berlin, Tokyo, New York, or Geneva.

Worldwide, there has been a huge demand for TEFL/TESOL teachers- both qualified and unqualified - to take up the tens of thousands of teaching posts that have been created both in the state and private sectors.

While classroom based or on-site teaching has boomed there has also become a recognition that there are large numbers of would be students who are unable to attend classroom based programs

This has developed alongside the new technologies both in terms of the available hardware and software that has promoted a big increase in the numbers of students seeking online courses not only in English as a Second or Foreign Language but also in a vast array of other subject areas as well

This can only increase in both the short and mid term and this course is intended to the training and a recognised qualification to enable you to take advantage of the opportunities now on offer

There are already a number of schools and companies that employ online tutors along with agencies that match student and teacher
