Our World-Class TESOL-40 Course
Practical teacher training built around dynamic, brain-based methods
Elevate your teaching with a course that focuses on what matters most: teaching methods. TESOL-40 is a dynamic, video-based program built from the success of CIE’s in-person training and designed to give you 40 brain-based methods that can help make lessons more engaging, memorable, and effective.
Through short, focused video lessons, you will learn 40 practical language-teaching methods and strategies—explained clearly, grounded in brain-based learning principles, and demonstrated through classroom examples.
These are the techniques that help teachers bring energy to lessons, keep learners actively involved, and support progress through purposeful interaction.
TESOL-40 is a strong starting point for teachers who want practical methods and a flexible introduction to TESOL. Graduates who want more advanced preparation can continue to TESOL-120.
*Prices are in USD. Upon completion of the program, graduates will receive their certification by email. Hardcopy certificates are available by request for $25. Purchase provides access to online content for a 6 month period. Continued access beyond that is available on a monthly basis.
