TESOL certification is not standardized so different course providers are free to offer a variety of courses at whatever price they see fit. An online search will reveal short-format TESOL courses for as little as US$49, but you need to ask yourself, will the resulting certification be accepted by employers in the region that you plan to teach in and will it provide sufficient preparation for a new teaching career? The bottom line is you should not choose a TESOL course based on its price, but rather the content and overall benefit it will have as you begin your TESOL journey. In-class TESOL courses are usually carried out over a four week period of intensive full-time training. These courses should cover all the main areas of ESL teaching including teaching methodologies, lesson...  [Read more]
