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 !

Five study components:
- Linguistics and language acquisition theories;
- Classroom management;
- Language skills development;
- Teaching specialist groups;
- Applied language awareness
Each study component consists of a number of study units (29 in total), each consisting of three activities (pre-reading, reading and post-reading, plus a recording activity).
One teaching practicum component:
The teaching practicum consists of six 1-hour lessons with authentic second language learners (three are compulsory and three are optional but recommended).
Trainee teachers are responsible for making their own arrangements regarding the teaching practicum, although they have the option to attend a Via Lingua training center for a one week residential in order to complete this component.
The trainee teacher’s responses to the study unit tasks are not graded but must be recorded in the personal and professional portfolio and be available for inspection.

- undertake and submit evidence of at least three hours of teaching with authentic language learners (including three 15-minute video submissions).
- submit a completed professional portfolio with all required items present.
