![]() As part of the TESOL program at the University of Toronto, students are required to complete a practicum, observation in an academic institution, and volunteer in an ESL program. Students need at least 30 hours of observation, and a minimum of 20 hours of supervised practice teaching. These hours are then counted towards our professional accreditation (OCELT- Ontario Certified English Language Teacher). I reached out to a local organization that offers LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) programs to immigrants and refugees within my community. Due to confidentiality reasons, I am unable to disclose the name of the organization. I loved: -The program works with other programs (within the organization) to assist newcomers with their transition to Canada. For instance, language teachers refer students to employment services to help them with resumes and job searches. I was surprised to see: - A child care centre for students who have young children - Close knit community of students and teachers I look forward too: - Assisting in all the classrooms and getting a feel for the different levels of English language learning - Meeting and working with staff and students for the next few months https://www.teslontario.org/accreditation/languageinstructor
