The “Principles and Practices” program is designed for the
experienced and the inexperienced online English language teacher
and course designer. Whether you design and deliver courses that
are fully or partially run online, the program will help develop
the skills you need to effectively teach English language courses
online or blend online segments with your traditional face-to-face
courses. In addition to certificate foundation and completion
courses, program participants choose between ten courses in general
and content-specific topics, including teaching speaking,
listening, reading and writing, and vocabulary and grammar
online and creating and using multimedia. Learn about
