Teaching English to Young Learners
The TEYL Professional offers online and in-person courses and services specifically tailored to those who teach English to children. Ideally for those who teach young learners aged six to twelve, but also beneficial for those who work with very young learners and teens.
TEYL = Teaching English to Young Learners
Over the last twenty years, we have become the leading global provider of TEYL professional development. Together with experts in the field, we have assembled the most up to date methods and approaches. We recognize that each teacher has their own ideas and thoughts about teaching English to children – we respect the teacher as a true professional.
Created by teachers for teachers.
Our courses provide practical, proven, research-based solutions that can easily be applied to your classroom experience. You'll improve your skills, knowledge, and confidence through our interactive online courses, in-person practicum sessions and other valuable services.
We provide the CertTEYL (Certificate in Teaching English to Young Learners) as the core of our system. However, soon you will be able to participate in mini-courses, specialization courses, webinars and many other engaging professional development activities.
