Go Teach workshops are designed to introduce Canadians to Teaching English as a Foreign Language -- in context and by making use of activities and exercises used by TEFL professionals in classrooms around the world. The workshops are interactive and empowering and include the following topics and more:

The Opportunity to Teach English and Travel the World
CLT - an introduction to communicative language teaching
Language Awareness - pronunication, vocabulary, grammar
Living Abroad - culture shock, expatriate resources, issues for Canadians
Teacher Training - certificate courses, in-house programs and more
Job Market - where the jobs are, types of positions, types of schools
Programs - VSO, WUSC, JET, EPIK and more
Teaching - resources, lesson planning and activities

At the end of a Go Teach workshop each participant should:

Understand why this opportunity exists and how it applies to them
Have a sense of their own ability to seize it
Have an improved awareness of English and their ability to use and teach it.
Be aware of the all the different avenues and options available to them including teacher training courses, placement programs and self-directed action
Have a greater understanding of “living abroad” as opposed to touring or vacationing
Have an introductory understanding of how English is taught as a Foreign Language
Feel empowered and inspired!
