Overview
Through this Introduction to Teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) course from University of St Andrews you will gain key practical tools and strategies to teach English as an additional language.
The course is structured in five units that will guide you from the basic principles of lesson preparation to practical application of the four skills in the classroom.
You will have the opportunity to put your newly developed knowledge into practice through ‘exit tickets’.
