Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)
Mission StatementOverview The TESOL certificate of completion courses will be offered as an integrated package over a four week period from April 28-May 23, 2008. Classes will meet during both the morning and the afternoon. Some course work as well as the practicum will be completed after the month of classes are over. The Program Coordinator With vast practical experience to draw on, Prairie’s Andy Woodland makes the TESOL classroom come to life. Combining formal linguistic training, ESL teaching experience, and drawing on an incredibly wide variety of 20 years of language learning and teaching experiences in Sweden, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Mexico, Canada and Pakistan, Andy’s TESOL classroom is not just dry theory—he has been there, and can help you succeed as you prepare for service as an ESL teacher whether at home or abroad. Mr. Woodland’s enthusiasm for languages is contagious, and it shows. In his classes you will not only learn, apply and practice various teaching techniques and methodologies—things that most TESOL courses focus on—you will also learn about cross-cultural living and linguistics… why people act the way they do, and why languages do the things they do... and you will learn to laugh as you lose your inhibitions while learning how to teach pronunciation and how to diagnose language learners’ problems—all in a safe and rich classroom environment. Admission Requirements • Students already enrolled at Prairie do not need to complete any further application materials. • Students enrolled at other institutions and who desire to take these courses for credit at their home institution may attend as visiting students. Please refer to page 17 of the Prairie Bible College catalogue for details regarding the simplified application process for visiting students (studying on a letter of permission). • All other students should refer to pages 16 to 19 of the Prairie Bible College catalogue to review the admissions criteria and application process. • Should you require further information about our admissions policy, please contact the Admission Office directly. Course Fees The tuition cost for the full 5 course package is $2,250 (CAD). This is a savings of more than $1000 from the regular per course charge. Room and Board Housing and meals are available on campus. Contact the Admissions Office for details. Expanded Opportunities The TESOL certificate of completion can be transferred into Prairie Bible College’s 4-year Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies or Bachelor of Arts in Ministry / Teaching degrees. Since Prairie is an accredited institution, these courses may also transfer into programs at a variety of other schools in North America and abroad. |
