  Portfolio components assessed and verified:
  Teaching skills and Lesson plans (Recommended 10 hours' supervised teaching practice with genuine classes; Recommended 10 hours' observation of experienced teachers teaching real learners)
  Language consciousness - 3 quizes or project (choice)
  Written assignments ('take-home'): Adult learning, language skills, selected methodology evaluation, authentic written homework correction, comparison and evaluation of two coursebooks, comparison and evaluation of two test programs

  Unknown language (Recommended 5 hours' tuition in an unknown foreign language - a 'course logbook' covering the trainee's reflective notes on learning an unknown language as an absolute beginner, his/her learning style and challenges)
  50 multiple-choice question paper ('open-book') - you are evaluated on understanding rather than recall and memorization

TESOL Faculty

TESOL Faculty
- Best in Class Faculty with Real-World Expertise
  
  Selected Lead Faculty (2012)
  
  Dr. B. J. Tkaczyk, MA, PMSC in HRD, MBA, Ph.D., FULBRIGHT Scholar (University of California, BERKELEY)- Faculty director & authoring faculty. Intercontinental work experience (Australasia, Europe, Middle East, North America) as a teacher, teacher trainer, trainers' trainer, director of studies (DoS), coach, human resource development (HRD) consultant, lecturer, educator, writer, reviewer. To create a dynamic environment, make an immediate impact and enhance learning, Dr. Tkaczyk uses a lot of discussions, simulations, action learning ('learn by doing'), powerful scenarios and case studies. His facilitation style is interactive and participant-centered. His current research focuses on Learning & Development (L&D) and the case study method of learning. More about Dr. Tkaczyk, drop in HERE.
  
  Jack Dunster (University of Saskatchewan alumnus, EFL)– TESOL research fellow. Teacher, teacher trainer, course moderator, lecturer, writer, editor, proof-reader, author of a resource book on developing writing skills. Originally from Canada, but, being married to a wonderful Polish girl, he has been for the last 13 years living in Poland where he teaches and trains future teachers at a teacher's college (TESOL, effective methodologies and learning strategies, academic writing, speaking strategies, North American culture). He has also worked in Canada, Cyprus, Egypt and Germany. In regard to the methodology of learning, he recognizes the need to understand the notions of multi-intelligence and their application with his students. He finds they are a mixed lot, and through the varied exercises he undertakes with his students, he sees much of Howard Gardner's work is best on keen observation and does have merit. In visiting his former students at their places of work, and speaking about this idea, it is wonderful to see some young learners realize that just because they are having problems in taking in the proffered information, they are not actually dummies, but do have the need to adopt learning strategies that would transfer the knowedge in ways they can absorb and recall when needed. You might notice in the last, by the way, he's quite kept up on understanding, and passing on ways of learning. He mentors, lives and breathes teaching and teacher training. His current classroom-based research deals with the learning strategies for ELT (Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach, independent & lifelong learning). He'll conclude by saying, that teaching is a noble practice - who else has a greater influence on an upcoming generation?
