TESOL Testimonials

The classes have a high practical content so you get plenty of opportunities to plan your own lessons and give presentations yourself.

Naokatsu Torimoto 
American TESOL

I really enjoyed the program. The tutors were always courteous and thorough. They shared some of their own stories and experiences with us, and this made the classes more enjoyable.The TESOL program is structured so that you learn psychology and the theory of teaching, and apply this on a practical basis in class.The classes have a high practical content so you get plenty of opportunities to plan your own lessons and give presentations yourself. You sit in on language classes and pick up hints and tips, and then at the end you have to plan and give your own simulated lessons. There is a lot of practical content, like selecting the right teaching materials to match your students' abilities, structuring the classes, and setting learning goals. You try these for yourself and get to see what works well and what doesn’t.On these occasions you also get detailed feedback from other TESOL participants and lecturers. That helps you move to the next stage of your learning development.

There were lots of different people on my program so I was able to build up a useful network of contacts. If you’re looking to become an English teacher you get to learn teaching methods you wouldn’t normally learn in your own country. Even if you don’t actually become a teacher, the course is useful for helping you to communicate and work with people in an English speaking environment. TESOL is a well-known qualification. If you’re interested in a more interactive-focused teaching approach, where you can compare your own English language skills with others, this is the course for you.You pick up skills that can be applied across a whole range of scenarios and situations. I’d really recommend it!

The American TESOL program was very interesting. The classes were very interactive.

Tsubasa Ubagai 
American TESOL

The American TESOL program was very interesting. The classes were very interactive. I really felt that all the activities we did would be useful for becoming a teacher in the future. Salma, my tutor, was very experienced in teaching English. She helped me learn so much about being a teacher, using approaches and activities that I wouldn’t have learned back at home.

Part of the program involves observing and sitting in on how the NYEA teachers teach and run their classes. Observing classes objectively in a professional capacity as a teacher means you pick up on things you don’t notice just from participating in class as a student. The final part of the program involves giving simulated lessons to the other students. Teaching a class with students of different nationalities is very nerve-wracking, but it was an eye-opening experience for me. The whole program and all the classes are conducted in English. The American TESOL program doesn’t just show you how to be an effective teacher, it’s also a great way to develop your all round English language skills. I’d strongly recommend it.

I learned that how to do in the class, not only that, I learned a lot more things.

Student comment : American TESOL Program Students

Hi guys! We are American TESOL students from Japan. Half of us are college students who want to be English teachers, and the others are teaching English to Japanese students. We all have teaching experience and want to improve our teaching skills. American TESOL is the course where students learn how to teach English in the “communicative approach.”

We have a common hope to make a change or bring about something new for Japanese education. Kakeru has a dream to establish an English institution in Japan. Through this course, he wants to know if teaching fits him.

Yoko is now teaching kids and adults, but sometimes she feels that Japanese students need new methods to improve their English. Keiko has her own business and teaches her students privately but she thinks that her knowledge is limited. Mayuko majors in English education and has a strong will to take some actions to English education. Kohei wants to learn pedagogical approaches different from ones applied in Japan.

We believe that the American TESOL program gives us inspiring ideas for our future classes which will help our Japanese students improve their English.

Introducing New York English Academy’s TESOL Program for American English

  • Teaching the four basic skills of American English: reading, writing, listening, and speaking
  • Understanding the difference between American and non-American English
  • Lesson planning for The American Language
  • Observing master teachers of American English
  • Observation and evaluation by master teachers of American English
  • Student needs analysis and customizing programs for American language learners
