PGCert in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL Plus)

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL Plus) is an Ontario College Graduate Certificate completed over two semesters, combining three professional certifications — CELTA, TESL Canada and TESL Ontario — within a single program. Each term includes a dedicated practicum course; the first-term practicum is capped at a maximum of six students. Students teach English in authentic ESL classrooms while studying, build an e-portfolio, and receive instruction in Portfolio-Based Language Assessment (PBLA). Admission requires an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university, with a Canadian equivalency report where applicable, and English language proficiency for applicants whose first language is not English; eligible applicants are selected on the basis of previous academic achievement, English language proficiency, pre-interview tasks and interview performance.
