ONLINE TEFL COURSE SYLLABUS

I'm thrilled to have been able to fulfill a long time desire. I'm equally grateful to you, who patiently persuaded me to challenge myself and to Tony, who has been amazing with his knowledgeable guidance, constant care and generous support ! The course has been stimulating and has allowed me to implement and refurbish my skills with relevant material. It has also invited me, after many years, to step back and analyze the way I teach today and to think of ways to keep it fresh. I couldn't have  asked for a better experience to cherish !

Giovanna, Italy
"Thank you to Via Lingua and SUU (Southern Utah University) for a well organized online TEFL course. My mentor was exceptionally supportive and challenged me along the way to grow and upskill myself.  Materials provided for the course were relevant and fresh.  I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience and highly recommend the course to others wanting to obtain a TEFL certification on-line.
