TEFL/TESOL Courses > 10-hour Lesson Planning Workshop
Combine a self-paced online TESOL / TEFL course with a live classroom experience! The 10-hour Lesson Planning Workshop is a series of four (4) live workshops offered via Zoom. Each workshop consists of 2.5 hours of live training covering the materials related to the Lab Assignments in the OnTESOL courses.
Each workshop includes a live lecture presented by our Senior Teacher Trainers to review the communicative and task-oriented ESL lesson planning frameworks used for teaching different skills and levels that we cover in our self-paced and hybrid online TESOL / TEFL courses. Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask the trainer live questions and participate in practical group activities (See syllabus below).

What Happens if I Miss a Live Session?
If you cannot attend a live session due to schedule, time zone, or maximum capacity limitations (100 students per session), you may wait a few weeks until the next monthly series starts from the beginning. You may also opt to complete the chapter without accessing its live session and attend the next workshop in the series as you proceed in the TESOL / TEFL course.

Students who want to benefit from the live sessions are required to attend and participate in group activities.
