NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS / ESL STUDENTS

Many ESL students come to Vancouver to learn English. Many return home speaking English very well but worry about how they are going to maintain their newly acquired skills if they do not use them. (USE IT OR LOSE IT!) Teaching English back home is a great way to maintain language skills as well as to share English skills with other students back home who may not have the same opportunities to study English abroad. Taking our 60-hour intensive TEFL Certification course will give ESL students a solid foundation in the essential methodologies that are necessary to be a successful English teacher. Obtaining your TEFL Certificate in Canada can also help get higher paying teaching opportunities back home. We have TEFL Certified 6,500 teachers already…Don’t miss out! We only take 10 students per month at our Vancouver centre, so register early!

General Pre-requisites:

1. •  A diploma or degree from a Canadian Post Secondary Institution
   

2. •  TOFEL 220 (Computer-Based) 560 (Paper-Based)
   

3. •  ELA - 145 (English Language Assessment Test)
   

4. •  IELTS (International English Language Testing System) - 6.5 overall, and no one score less than 6
   

If you fall short of meeting a pre-requisite, come in and speak with us or attend an info session and meet with Instructor Chris-Anne Stumpf (PhD, CERTESL) and Managing Director Gary Bosomworth. They would be happy to assess, on a case-by-case basis, anyone who is borderline with their English language proficiency. The course is challenging and we want our students to succeed, but we understand English ability is more than just a test score.

Students who are Non-Native English Speakers and who successfully complete our TEFL Certification Program will be issued with certificate with all the same content as Native English Speakers, but with the additional designation of “Non-Native Speaker.”
