The University of Toronto Certificate Program in Teaching English as a Second Language was first offered in 1972 and is one of the finest TESOL programs in Canada.

Praise for the program has been enthusiastic and consistent.  The program provides a theoretical and practical base in linguistics, language acquisition and pedagogy designed to prepare graduates to be effective instructors of English as a Second language to adult learners, either in Canada or abroad. Please select Current or Prospective students from the left-hand menu for more information.

 

We are still accepting applications for the Summer Session start of the TESOL program.  Classes begin in May.  Please apply online as soon as possible.
