Each class is 7 weeks long and is designed for pre-service and in-service teachers who would like to go more in-depth in second-language acquisition theory, teaching techniques, and classroom approaches to teaching a specific skill. Each class can be taken separately, or if you complete all four of the courses, you will receive the "Teaching English as a Foreign Language- Advanced Certification" from the Center for Intensive English Studies at Florida State University.

Each class is composed of both synchronous and asynchronous activities and instruction. The instructor meets with the participants face-to-face, twice a week, for an hour each time. Other activities, such as discussion boards, video responses, etc. make up an additional three (3) hours per week. The synchronous classes are available at 7 am (Eastern Standard Time) or 7 pm (EST) Monday and Wednesday.
