Hi,
Is it worth it to take a $300 TESL course online? The classroom courses are too expenisve. Or should I just not bother? I already have a BA.
Thanks,
Colleen
On line courses vs on site

An online course is better then nothing, of course. Part of it depends on how well you can study by yourself.
If we were very good at that we could learn a lot from just reading.
However, it is the interaction with others in real life situations which makes human contact more effective. And the practice teaching experience is a valuable aspect.
If you expect to teach online, perhaps an online certificate will do.
Or, there are four-week intensive courses (like ours:
www.TEFLofCanada.com ) which offer real life experience in learning and practice teaching. We think that the teaching experience and the cultural experience of taking our course in Bordeaux make it superior.
