TEFL Specialisation: Teaching English Online

About this course

Teaching through a screen calls for new habits. This 50-hour specialisation shows qualified English teachers how to run live online lessons that are just as interactive and effective as classroom teaching, from setting up equipment to using breakout rooms, whiteboards and shared documents.

You will plan lessons designed for the screen, manage one-to-one and group classes, give feedback digitally and keep learners safe online. Live micro-teaching sessions let you practise with real tools, and you finish with a portfolio and an Alalamia certificate.
