OnTESOL 2

In 2003, Coventry House International established


OnTESOL to offer quality training based on the syllabus
that Coventry delivered for their accredited in-class Trinity
CertTESOL and TESL Canada Standard 1 course.

The online TESOL / TEFL certification courses offered by


OnTESOL lead to TESL Canada and TESL Ontario
certification. This means that you can use your OnTESOL
certificate to teach English in Canada / USA (and other
native English speaking countries), receive the work visa
required to teach English abroad, or apply for online
teaching jobs.

Over the years, OnTESOL has improved the online TESOL /


TEFL courses with a great variety of videos to support the
textbook. We have also added new interactive features to
stay up-to-date with international teaching methods and
ESL lesson planning frameworks. Starting in 2022,
OnTESOL students have the option of adding a
semi-synchronous experience to their online TESOL / TEFL
course with the new 10-hour Lesson Planning Workshop.

This live module is the first of its kind in the global ESL
Teacher Training industry! It adds an interactive classroom
experience to the self-paced online courses to offer more
training on lesson planning frameworks than a 4-week
CELTA certification course. The live workshop also helps
OnTESOL students perform better in the lesson planning
Lab Assignments.

Testimonials 19

“OnTESOL gave me the accreditation that I needed


to keep my teaching job in Brazil. The course helped
me improve the lessons and I still enjoyed referring
to the lesson plans, grammar activities, and videos
to cater my lessons to different age groups and
classes.”

Electra Bolotas
120-hour TESOL Graduate
College Teacher in Brazil

“Prior to my departure, I compiled a portfolio of the


lesson plans I had done as part of my assignments
and practice classes in the TESOL course, so that I
would at least have something to show for myself. I
also brought along some reference letters from
previous employers (professional references, not in
the field of teaching), and of course, my certificates.

My portfolio turned out to be a really great idea


because every Director had a look at it in every one
of my interviews. Some would say ‘Wow! Those are
some quite detailed lesson plans!’. For someone
who doesn’t have any teaching experience, a
portfolio with lesson plans can come in very handy.”

Meghan Simpson

“I taught at 2 universities in Japan. This was my


second TESOL certification and having one affiliated

“I completed OnTESOL’s 250-Hour TESOL Diploma


course, and, sure enough, that boost to my
credentials combined with positive references from
my time with ADEC got me a much better paying
position with ADVETI the following school year. I’ve
since been able to certify as an IELTS examiner,
largely because of my TESOL diploma, which in turn
has made me a more attractive candidate to the
universities and colleges. Honestly, pursuing my
TESOL diploma through OnTESOL was one of the
soundest investments I’ve made towards my career
as an educator.”

Greg Askew
250-hour TESOL Graduate
ADEC and IELTS Teacher in the United Arab Emirates

“I have to say that my OnTESOL mentors gave me


tons of confidence and courage. I knew I could do
this. I’m a fighter. I created a bond with my TEYL
tutor, who turned out to be one of the authors
Cambridge University raves about. I wish I could
thank her personally.”

Cindy Domingues
120-hour TESOL and 20-hour TEYL Graduate

“One of the biggest, most important lesson the


OnTESOL course taught me was the concept of
teaching grammar communicatively by teaching
function. This was especially useful when using
function to teach scuba divers in West Papua how to
tell time and geography”.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) 21

1 Are There Any Differences Between TESOL, TEFL, and TESL Methods?
In essence, the methodology of TEFL, TESOL, and TESL is the same. Whether you want to
teach English abroad or to teach in an English immersion program in North America, the
Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method prevails all over the world. In fact, the
CLT method can be used to teach any language! There are different approaches that
branch off CLT. The main ones are the Communicative Approach and Task-based
Learning, which are used in about 90% of English classes around the world.

The online TESOL / TEFL / TESL courses offered by OnTESOL will teach you to use a
variety of current lesson planning frameworks that are practical and effective for applying
CLT methods with different levels of language learners.

2 How Do I Choose a TESOL / TEFL / TESL Course?


A TESOL / TEFL / TESL course should provide you with the skills to develop CLT lessons
through detailed lesson-plan assignments. Knowing how to supplement the textbook with
communicative activities and authentic material (i.e: songs, movies, news stories,
podcasts, and other media) is a very important skill that you must have as an ESL teacher.

Whether you are planning to teach English abroad or in an English immersion program at
home, the textbook is often outdated and boring. In some countries, there isn’t even a
textbook to follow because students cannot afford one. Many teachers use authentic
materials without a communicative purpose and simply playing a song or a movie does
not entail that students are acquiring communicative competence.

For this reason, it is recommended taking a TESOL / TEFL / TESL certification course with
a strong focus on lesson planning and the Communicative Language Teaching method.
Those who know how to follow CLT lesson planning formats are able to teach grammar
and vocabulary lessons that integrate speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills.

In short, CLT lesson planning formats enable students to learn the rules of the English
language, while at the same time, being exposed to daily life contexts where the
respective language is used to communicate meaning. Rather than simply memorize
English rules, students learn by practicing their communication skills thanks to the CLT
method.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) 22

3 What’s The Difference Between the TESOL and TEFL Certificate Courses Offered by
OnTESOL?
The Advanced 120-hour TESOL Certificate provides the core skills that ESL teachers need
for adult ESL classes that are more prevalent in Canadian and US job markets for teaching

worldwide.

4 What is an Advanced TESOL Course?

The minimum requirement for most jobs abroad is a 120-hour TESOL / TEFL / TESL
certificate, but not every course is built the same way.

Most online courses are introductory because they assess students via quick reflection
essays. Some courses cover lesson planning, but their participants will often have to
complete just one final assignment to receive the certificate. Furthermore, most
introductory courses lack grammar and phonology modules.

An advanced TESOL/TEFL course offers comprehensive training in every area of


TESOL/TEFL theory and methodology: grammar, phonology, and methodology. In
particular, an advanced TESOL/TEFL course assesses trainees through major lesson
planning assignments that integrate grammar and vocabulary lessons with speaking,
writing, reading, and listening skills.

An advanced TESOL/TEFL course is generally recognized by one of the top 3 accrediting


bodies in the world: TESL Canada, Trinity CertTESOL, and/or CELTA. These organizations
check the course material, level of assignments, and tutor support to ensure trainees
receive professional training. Courses recognized by one of the 3 major bodies are
considered advanced because the course material and level of assignments are very
comprehensive. Recognized courses cover grammar, phonology, and methodology
topics in a standardized manner. By the end of a recognized program, students have the
