Description: The Language House is an organization that provides teacher training to facilitate teaching English abroad. With an ever increasing demand and a variety of English teaching jobs, we focus on Mediterranean countries. Our TEFL/TESOL certificate is internationally recognized and follows The British Council criteria with over 120 hours of class time. After our training, you will be well on your way to exploring this part of the world by teaching. Upon completion of our program, we assist with finding employment in Italy, Spain, France, Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt.

Perfectly located on the Italian Riviera, Genoa is an old port city with charm and architectural grace. Because of its lack of high tourism, Genoa affords its visitors an authentic Italian culture with affordable prices.

Its medieval old town is an intricate labyrinth of alleyways, where among the shops, restaurants, and local stores, visitors can catch sight of the city's noble past in its 16th century palazzos, baroque edifices, and Romanesque churches, looming over the little piazzas.

While Genoa is only an hour away from Milan, a world famous bustling city, it is also close to the small beautiful gems of Lake Como, Cinque Terre, Portofino and Santa Margherita.

Our school is located in the heart of the city center near via XX Settembre where you can find great dinning, shopping and entertainment. We provide a teaching resourse center as well as there will be excursion opportunities to nearby towns in the region.

Highlights: Unlike many certificate programs, we provide the opportunity to teach both children and adults which is important when looking for work abroad.

The TESOL Certificate- Teachers of English to Students of Other Languages- provides training for those who have little or no teaching experience who wish to enter the English teaching profession.

Our course is externally moderated with all major segments graded before successful completion of the course.

The course is four weeks which entails 120 hours of classroom time. The first two weeks are mostly classroom sessions. The main components included are;

- Grammar
- Phonology
- Teaching Techniques
- Classroom Management
- Teaching of an unknown language

In the first two weeks, our trainees are students and while moving into the second two weeks, they assume the role of teacher by participating in Observed Teacher Practice. After all, the best way to learn anything is to actually do it.

Qualifications: For our TESOL program, all applicants must be native or near native- English speakers of 18 years of age or older. A university degree is preferable. No prior teaching experience necessary.
