TESOL Online Professional Development Overview
TESOL’s interest section e-lists provide many opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and networking for members.
The TESOL Resource Center (TRC) is an online platform for TESOL members to find and share a variety of resources with peers in the profession. The TRC features over 250 resources, ranging from lesson plans and quizzes to professional papers and presentations.
TESOL virtual seminars are 90- to 120-minute Webcasts focused on key issues in ESL and EFL. The seminars are easy to access online from your home or office, as a live event or using the playback feature, when it fits your schedule. You can also extend peer-to-peer learning by bringing together ELT professionals in your school or area for the seminar at no extra charge (registration is on a per site basis).
TESOL gratefully acknowledges the support of Heinle, a part of Cengage Learning, in providing the technology platform for TESOL’s virtual seminars through their ELT Advantage program. Participants in ELT Advantage Online Professional Development courses can receive a TESOL Certificate of Completion upon successful completion of courses that have been reviewed and approved by TESOL.
Whether you design and deliver courses that are fully or partially run online, TESOL's Principles and Practices of Online Teaching Certificate Program will help develop the skills you need to effectively teach English language courses online or blend online segments with your traditional face-to-face courses. The program curriculum consists of certificate foundation and completion courses, and ten courses in general and content-specific topics.
TESOL now offers two Leadership Development Certificate Program workshops online, About TESOL and Perspectives on Leadership for TESOL.
The TESOL Core Certificate Program is a 130-hour online training program providing a foundation in the theory and practice of English language teaching. The program is designed for current or prospective teachers or administrators worldwide with who have limited formal training in ELT.
