About the program

The Maximizing English Teaching (MET) Program is a comprehensive training course developed by teachers, for teachers to equip educators with the skills and confidence to teach English effectively. Through expert-led live instruction and practical strategies, participants will learn to create engaging and impactful learning experiences. Whether you’re new to teaching ESL or looking to refine your approach, MET empowers you to inspire and support English learners.

How it Works

MET is a cohort-based program. You’ll move through the course with the same group of peers, learning together and sharing classroom experiences. Unlike self-paced courses, our fixed start and end dates keep you accountable and on track from day one to graduation.

MET is designed for current and aspiring English teachers who want to strengthen their practice, including:

✔ Current English teachers looking to refine their skills and gain fresh, practical strategies
✔ New ESL teachers who want a strong foundation in language teaching theory and practice
✔ Educators preparing for new classroom challenges, from lesson planning to professional issues in teaching
✔ Teachers who want to improve their skills in a structured, group setting

Required prerequisites
✔ B1+ English level
✔ B.A. degree
✔ Currently teaching English

How MET is Structured

Module 1

Theory and practice of language teaching

Module 2

Teaching in the real classroom

Module 3

Professional issues in teaching English

Module 4

Teaching Practicum
