"The encouragement, the positive and supportive atmosphere, the obvious experience and professionalism, the depth of knowledge, the absolute human courteousness and the convenience of doing this from home. Very high marks. I am overwhelmingly impressed."

Marion S.
CTEFL Online Graduate

"I got 'A LOT' from this course. I've attempted teaching EFL a few times and found my lack of methodology frustrating. I knew what I was trying to accomplish, but not quite sure how to do it. Now I feel confident I have the tools to construct effective and interesting lesson plans and deliver them with confidence... "Great course!! I wish it were longer!"

Mandy M.
CTEFL Graduate

"Having been a previous student of a foreign language, I found myself wishing that my previous instructors had utilized the innovative methods of the Communicative Approach. I feel that this course has underscored in my mind the importance of this concept to a successful and enjoyable learning experience."
