The Boston Language Institute offers full time and part time Teacher Training Programs. The TEFL program takes 4 weeks full-time and meets Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm for a total of 120 hours of instruction. Part-time courses meet Saturdays from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm. The course duration is 12 weeks. It is the same program as the full-time course with some hours done as homework. For both programs there is practical classroom experience and career guidance. The Institute also offers a TEFL Certificate Program for Non-native Speakers of English. In addition to all the components of our traditional TEFL course, this course includes special training on pronunciation, American culture, and other topics relevant to non-native speakers.
