Welcome to English Teachers' College at the Canadian College of Educators!

TESOL stands for Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages which refers to teaching English in a country where English is not an official language.

This program is designed for Canadians looking to go overseas to teach English or for foreigners outside of Canada seeking training and Canadian Certification for teaching English in their home country.
