The TESOL Course text is divided into five parts and 36 lessons.

    Part One presents the four essential language acquisition skills.

    Part Two deals with many methodologies, techniques, and approaches
    to teaching English as a Second or Foreign language.

    Part Three brings ESL teaching into the computer age and delves into the
    explosive impact that computers and the Internet are having on ESL teaching.

    Part Four is a valuable source of reference material and practical tips for
    teachers going abroad.

    Part Five concerns the assignments we require from students during the
    course. One written assignment is required for each 12 lessons.  A fourth
    assignment requires (for experienced teachers) outlining how the student
    is putting our course material into practical use, or (for prospective teachers),
    developing a 5 day lesson plan on presenting one aspect of the English
    language.
