the opportunity for students to share and reflect on
their experience.

grammar as well as to the different approaches
and techniques for grammar instruction in a second

between being a speaker of English and being a
teacher of the language.

An international teaching practicum experience
provides students with an opportunity to live and
teach in an international setting with the support of
Selkirk College. During their practicum students will
apply the theories and methods studied in the Selkirk
College TESOL Program in a work environment.

Note: This course may not be offered every

year. Enrolment is limited. Selkirk currently has
