Spotlight Live Tesol Courses

Hands–on and interactive, these short courses are a great way of developing your skills and interacting with others. 

Led by TESOL experts in their fields, each individual Spotlight Live TESOL course will give you the opportunity to improve your teaching skills and knowledge, while you learn with other trainees online. You’ll prepare with a short module first, then participate in an interactive Zoom session, led by an experienced tutor. 

It’s a great chance to develop your understanding of key teaching concepts in a short, accessible and enjoyable format, where you will benefit from sharing with others and practise some peer-peer teaching yourself.
