Online TEFL Essentials Course

The Language Institute of Chiang Mai University is offering a self-administered TEFL certificate through our virtual school.  This course has been entirely authored by the experts at the Language Institute.  The content is similar to that of the 120-hour, in-house course, but the online curriculum delves deeper into the theory, philosophy, and psychology of effective language teaching.

This program offers the convenience of learning at your own pace, from anywhere with an internet connection and can be completed in as little as two weeks, or can be taken slowly over six months.  It’s all based on what is most comfortable for you.  During the course, you can communicate with trainers and fellow students from all over the world.
