Key features of our Trinity Dip. TESOL course
The Trinity course is suitable for all English Language teachers, whether they are specialists in teaching Young Learners, Business English, EAP, General English, or a mixture of these. Other courses, such as the UCLES DELTA exclude Young Learners. The flexible nature of the Trinity Diploma means you can answer exam questions and submit projects relating to the learners you teach.
Trinity Dip TESOL course content.
Aside from all being Trinity Diploma holders themselves, our tutors have a wealth of experience as language teachers and teacher trainers in numerous countries. They have spoken at conferences around the world and published articles in magazines and journals. They have written coursebooks and professional manuals for teachers with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Delta Publishing and Macmillan. They have published material on the web that you may have used in class with your students. For these reasons we believe that our tutor team is really world-class.

We also include guest tutors in our live and on line sessions, experts in their field of ELT. Recent guests include Scott Thornbury, Gavin Dudeney and Nicky Hockly, Mark Powell, Kyle Mawer and Jo Budden.
We believe it is essential to create a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom and the school as a whole on all our courses. This is true as well of our Distance Diploma course, which unlike most distance learning aims to replicate the dynamic of face-to-face teaching, by creating a fixed group of learners who study together as a class, rather than isolated individuals. You will be given plenty of encouragement, personal attention and support from our team of tutors. They will challenge you, but create a manageable workload. They will encourage you to enjoy your learning. Testimonials from our graduates
The Trinity courses at OxfordTEFL offer maximum possible flexibility
through combining in various ways face to face and distance modes of learning.
Apart from choosing from Summer Intensive or Distance Diploma, candidates can elect to sit the written exam at
any of 3 dates during the year. Practical exams are taken during your face to face block which can be in May, August or November. Our courses are designed to get you through
the exams by given dates, but you are only assessed when you
feel absolutely ready.
The Trinity College, London Licentiate Diploma in TESOL, to use its full title, is one of only 2 advanced qualifications officially recognised by the British Council (the other is the UCLES DELTA). You can find out more at the Trinity College, London website. It has worldwide acceptance as an advanced teaching qualification and is usually a requirement for senior teaching posts, teacher training posts, Director of Studies posts and regular teaching posts with the more “prestigious” language teaching organisations.
The maximum number of participants is 12, including on our distance course.
This ensures you get the help, support and access to resources you need.
Because our course participants usually come on personal recommendation, rather than
as the result of heavy advertising. Course Fees
and dates. We can offer low cost accommodation in Barcelona in the summer for our intensive and distance mode students.
