Question Teyl

Is anyone familiar with TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners) certificates. I had a candidate who had one the other day and was not sure what to make of the certificate, does anyone know which certification places are reputable?


Cheers,

Re: Teyl

There are several course providers that run TEYL courses. They are marketed to those who want to specialise in teaching English to young children and teenagers. They are often an add-on feature, given away free when you register in a TESL or TEFL course. Not sure about their worth as a good TESL or TEFL course should cover all sorts of teaching scenarios and prepare their teachers for all age groups. And, as a teacher, you don’t want to be tied in to one age group.

Re: Teyl

Bridge-Linguatec in Denver offers this as an add-on to its TEFL certificate. They don't offer it as a separate certificate though (assuming they haven't changed the course the last three years).

Re: Teyl

Ok, thanks for the info. The teacher got the position with this certificate the school recognised it. I figure it is like a TEFL to a diploma of Education.
