The YLs Course: An Online Certificate in Teaching English to Children and Teenagers

  • Online
  • 24 weeks
  • Certificate by London School of Languages
The YLs Course is a 24-week online course. The course consists of 20 modules on a wide variety of teaching topics relating to Young Learners; making it the perfect course for teachers wishing to build on the knowledge gained in their initial teacher training course and better prepare themselves for their YLs classes.

The modules on The YLs Course are aimed at providing teachers with a more in-depth understanding of Young Learners classes; including video observations of real classes, interviews with teachers, video tutorials, sample material and further suggested reading. At the end of each module, teachers are required to complete a short ‘Test Your Knowledge’ section, which checks that they have thoroughly understood the content in that module.

Participants who successfully complete all elements of the online course within the specified 24 weeks and submit the two pieces of written work will be awarded with a certificate.
