Communicative Language Teaching, Certificate
The Certificate in Communicative Language Teaching is designed to enhance students’ knowledge of communicative language teaching (CLT) approaches to working with English learners in both domestic and global contexts. The Certificate will enable students to acquire specialized CLT certification for enhancing their students’ communicative competence in English, given the socio-cultural and international contexts in which the language serves as a lingua franca. The Certificate courses may be offered at the 500-level or 600-level, as is appropriate, respectively, for teachers of English as a new language who are in training or already in service.
