ESL certification

[Connolly, Rosemarie Lynn]

Dear Elena,
Your student has 2 options.  First, he/she can get a certificte here in 
the States through a university, but most certification programs are at 
least 1 year.  Or s/he could go through a program like International 
House, which will provide the student (for a sum) with an intensive 
certification course and then help place him/her.  However, your 
student needs to be careful about which program s/he goes through.  I 
would highly recommend International House, because they have a 
wonderful reputation, and their teachers are generally very good.  
Other programs may simply be a rip off (and I could name a couple, if 
you're interested).

I hope this helps.
