Develop the skills to teach English effectively online.
Online teaching has become an essential part of English language education. Teach English Online from Trinity College London is a self-led, modular online course that helps teachers develop the practical knowledge and techniques needed to teach successfully in online learning environments.
Teach English Online is designed for English language teachers who want to transfer and enhance their existing skills for online teaching. It is suitable for teachers beginning to teach online, those moving from face-to-face teaching into digital environments and teachers who want to strengthen their online practice.
CertOT
After completing the course, teachers can choose to take the Certificate in Online Teaching (CertOT) — a Level 4 Ofqual-regulated qualification that provides formal recognition of online teaching knowledge and skills.
The CertOT is designed as a progression route from Teach English Online. It assesses key learning from the course and enables teachers to formalise their development with a Trinity teaching qualification.
The qualification focuses on areas such as planning online lessons, selecting suitable digital resources, and continuing professional development for online teaching.
