Chiang Mai University's Teaching English as a Foreign Language
Certificate Program (CMUTEFL) is Chiang Mai's only 4-week
The TEFL course at CMU was extremely good and very interesting. All the teachers we had were experienced and focused on the practical side of teaching. I learned so much about progressive teaching methods during this long month. We also had the chance to practice teaching in real life environment as we were taken to a kindergarten, a secondary school and to English language classrooms of the University. After getting graduated, it took me only two weeks to get a job in Chiang Mai as schools in the city value a lot that particular degree. So, don´t take an online TEFL course, just go to CMU, meet nice people and get ready for your teaching career !

This program is highly suitable for individuals aspiring to pursue a career as an English teacher. During the input sessions, a structured approach is taken to arrange the lesson plan and guide teaching step by step. In the initial phase, I practice with my classmates, and in the subsequent step, I independently design lesson plans and conduct solo teaching sessions. This hands-on, practical teaching experience has provided me with valuable insights, enhancing both my experience and confidence for my future career. In the practice sessions, we are required to teach university students, young learners, secondary school students, and engage in online teaching. Having completed this course, I am now equipped with the strong confidence to effectively serve students at any level. Furthermore, the lectures in the class and the program coordinators exhibit politeness, patience, kindness, and professionalism in their interactions with students.

I really enjoyed taking the CMU TEFL course and would recommend it to anyone looking to start teaching English in Thailand or elsewhere. I had no previous teaching experience and all of the instructors helped prepare me for teaching with intensive lessons and a solid ten hours of teaching practice throughout the course - teaching students at CMU, online, high school, primary, and kindergarten. Studying as part of a small group and working together to improve our teaching was a fantastic way to learn how to teach English and something that you could not get with a purely online course. The support given by the university was also brilliant throughout the course, helping us with visas during and after the course and providing great advice on finding teaching roles and CV advice. I now feel more than ready to start teaching professionally thanks to the course's focus on practical teaching, and feel that I can ask any of the CMU instructors for help or advice if I need it. This is really a fantastic course and the best way to start your TEFL career!

I wish to write a testimonial regarding the high quality and outstanding TEFL program at the Language Institute. I could not have selected a better program! This is the greatest way to learn the practical aspects of teaching with the TEFL programs highly qualified experienced teachers giving a wealth of experience and knowledge without reservation. I was seeking a course which would allow me the professional opportunity to learn new classroom management skills and robust teaching methodologies for all levels of foreign students for my new professional career. The supportive academic office was always available to help me for all manner of questions and requests. The instructors gave generously from their extensive teaching careers and the weekly teaching practice both onsite and at local schools was ideal for practical application of the lessons from the program.

Can I work during a course ?
I'm not a native English speaker. Can I still apply for the course ?
Is there a foreign language requirement to join CMUTEFL ?
