How many modules in a TESOL course?
The number of modules in a TESOL course varies depending on the specific course and provider. At ITTT courses are structured into several individual modules that are designed to make the content more manageable and memorable for students, covering essential areas of English language teaching. Key topics typically include grammar, classroom skills, and lesson planning strategies. However, the exact number of modules differs among courses to accommodate diverse learning goals and teaching scenarios.
ITTT offers a spectrum of courses, from short-format specialized courses to more comprehensive programs like an advanced-level Diploma in TESOL. As a result, the number of modules in a TESOL course can range significantly based on the course's depth and breadth. For example, a standard 120-hour TESOL course might have a different module count compared to an advanced diploma program, reflecting the variation in curriculum complexity and coverage.
