Course Recognition
The 140 hour TESOL certification combines 90 hours of classroom-based work with 20-30 hours of Teaching Practice. Our partner school works with U.S. Colleges and Universities to identify college graduates interested in traveling abroad for a learning and experience program beginning with a full Certification TEFL/TESOL course and ending in job placement in countries in need of English teachers. The school is a member of NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) and has been approved by other member schools (i.e. Ohio State University , Purdue, Harvard, Yale, Tufts University , University of North Carolina , Duke University and many others) for on campus recruitment for our TESOL programs
Our TESOL academic staff has over 30 years of experience in the English language-training field, both in pure academics and in day-to-day teaching in classrooms worldwide. The TESOL certification course in Vietnam relies on this wealth of experience to combine the best and most current academic thinking in the TESOL field with decades of hands-on wisdom from practical teaching in remote areas of the world.
The 140+ hour, four-week course integrates the aspects of real teaching that we have found most important:
- Ninety hours of classroom-based Academic Inputs
- Thirty hours of Language and Cultural Awareness Training
- Up to thirty hours of Teaching Practice and Observation
Our TESOL Practicum is similarly goal-based:
- You will typically be seeing the same students on a regular basis for 8 to 10 hours each week, so your lessons will be continuous, one building-on and leading-to the next. The students you teach are actually your students, allowing you to plan from class to class based on student progress and need.
- Your teaching assignment will often be a local community resource (hospital, police station, city hall, orphanage, immigration office, etc.) so your teaching time directly benefits the community. By the end of the class, your students will have had thirty hours of English Language classes, free. This may not seem like much, but it is approximately the same number of hours a class in many public schools will get in one academic year.
Language and Cultural Awareness Training: 30 hours of training designed to:
1. Give you the local language skills necessary for daily life in Cambodia
2. Put you in the learner's seat, re-acquainting you with the struggle to acquire a new language
3. Let you be part of the learning process
4. Provide a major cultural overview and orientation to Cambodian customs- what's polite and acceptable, how to fit in, the importance of making an effort toward understanding, etc.
