Certificate of Achievement in the Fundamentals of English Language Teaching (FELT)

Certificate of Achievement in the Fundamentals of English Language Teaching (FELT) introduces pre-service and in-service English instructors to the best practices in teaching English as a foreign language (ESL) by focusing on the four aforementioned areas. Holders of this certificate may then pursue a career in the field, whether at schools, language centers, or in schools of continuing education within ESL programs.

2. Teaching methods and classroom management
3. Teaching integrated skills
4. Classroom assessment
5. Teacher autonomy
