Before signing up, I might have been concerned that an on online course wouldn't be as engaging as a traditional class, but ATC's online TESOL course turned out to be a rewarding and thought-provoking experience which provided me with many new ideas and insights about teaching. The team at ATC were very friendly, upbeat, and easy to work with (and always prompt in returning assignments or answering any emails I sent them!).

Gesturing and uttering sounds in their own distinct languages, they attempt to communicate, reaching across a genetic gulf shaped by thousands of years of evolution....Read More

A student in a language teacher training course—or even a seasoned language teacher navigating academic literature—can easily become disoriented by the terminology, some of which overlaps, is used interchangeably, or lacks clarity....Read More
 

How to Create Great Wrap-ups for Your Language Lessons? Here Are 5 Tips!

Perhaps you’ve experienced abrupt endings firsthand – a movie that had no conclusion, a story that seemed to reach a climax and then left you hanging, or a meal that was taken away from your table before you had the chance to sink your fork into that last juicy morsel....Read More
 

How to Create Engaging Introductions for Your Language Lessons? Here are 7 Tips!

Movie directors know well the importance of opening scenes that “hook” viewers and propel them with proper momentum through the cinematic journey so carefully crafted in advance. Seasoned teachers know the importance of effective introductions too. In the same way that the quality of the first few minutes of a movie is an essential factor in the way the audience will engage with the rest of that movie, in the classroom a good introduction can sustain interest throughout your lesson ....
