CCA (Cross-Cultural Awareness) Program

A common pitfall of new TEFL graduates is their lack of awareness of the multicultural world we live in. Graduates of TEFL programs tend to underestimate the importance of learning cultural sensitivity and understanding before beginning work in an overseas culture. The TEFL/TESL/CCA™ Program, however, will equip you with the knowledge you need to succeed in a foreign culture. In addition, you will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the friendliness and hospitality of Ecuadorian culture.

The CCA Program includes 12 hours of course lectures and student presentations.
