Online TESOL Technology Course: $95 USD

Brought to you by ITTO, the pioneer of a one-of-a-kind course, the first online course devoted to train English Teachers to use or strengthen their knowledge in integrating technology devices in the classroom, providing a compilation of technologies and tools that can be used to enhance language learning and teaching.

As the TESOL Association has adapted and created standards which are specifically aimed at teaching English and the use of technologies, ITTO’s Online TESOL Technology Course introduces different kinds of tools that are user-friendly and that can be learned on a self-study basis. Therefore, our main goal is to provide ideas on how you can implement the tools to get the best of them.

In this course you will learn to employ new techniques that go beyond the use of conventional classroom items such as blackboards, chalk, recorders, video-players, flashcards, books, photocopies, etc. These new teaching tools provide excellent opportunities for language educators to explore and use to enhance teaching and learning. Thus, you offer many advantages in educational settings! Click here for requirements.

Current technologies offer students the opportunity not only to learn for themselves through information search tools, but they also allow the students to manipulate information through data analysis tools, creation tools, and social tools, which encourage global collaboration. You will learn the theory behind the use of technology in and outside the classroom. You will try some of the tools yourself and decide how these tools can provide an added value to your lessons as well as your professional development.

Researchers suggest that technology enhances learning by means of active engagement, group participation, periodic interaction and feedback among the participants, and contact with the real world. In addition, students will improve their writing skills, thinking skills, meaningful creative work, problem solving, global communication, their attitude, ability to use tools, and comprehension due to individualized instruction.
