 |
|
Can anyone offer their experiences with teaching in Canada with a distance MA? I'm looking at local programs (McGill, Concordia) but would prefer a distance/online MA in TESOL or similar (for personal reasons).
I know many of the Australian ones tend to be popular with Canadian ESL teachers, any experience?
I would also be interested in any American ones that are located somewhat close to Montreal (ie. Vermont) that can be done mostly off-campus. |

| This may not be what you're looking for, but I know for certain that some of the reputable UK distance MAs are accepted. Birmingham, Edinburgh are - I know teachers working in Canadian unis who have degrees from these two. |

Thanks spiral
UK distance MA's are just fine too. I will go check out their websites. |

Wow, quite a price difference between EU and non-EU! I wonder if I have a Hungarian passport via my mother that I can qualify for EU  |

That's the reason to do it in Canada.
This is an OK link for many of the distance programs (not just TESOL) in the country:
http://www.distanceedcanada.ca/
I think U. Calgary does an online MA TESOL.
You might also check the TESOL Canada website.
They probably have links to recognized schools.
The TESOL website has such a page for many schools around the world.

Seriously, you should try. While you might not get residency prices though, I think you have to live in the EU for six months first, an EU passport would open doors. |

I'm currently teaching ESL in Canada on contract for the federal and provincial (NS) governments. I have a Masters of Applied Linguistics (distance) from the University of Southern Queensland in Australia. My employers were impressed with the degree, as was I...it took a lot of work and I learned a lot (all for a good price).
Let me know if you want more info.
