Teaching English to the Young Learner (TEYL)

Teaching English to the Young Learner (TEYL) is a growing market overseas. Our 120-hour program will give you the specialized skills and knowledge to teach English to children ages 4-12.

Mandatory English language education for young learners in many countries around the world has created a demand for teachers who can incorporate games, music, storytelling, and art in the classroom. Teaching young learners can be quite different from teaching young adults and/or adults, and the courses in our program will train you in how to effectively use activities in lesson plans to “entertain” as well as educate your students.

Each TEYL course has a specific target and outcome, but our TEYL Classroom Management course is especially interesting as it has two fieldtrips. One is to a San Diego learning center and the other to a local elementary school where you will interact with the children and the teachers and really see what an elementary classroom is like.

Teaching young learners is a rewarding, fun, and challenging experience that is unlike teaching other ages. It takes special and unique skills – skills that you will learn in our TEYL program.
