Why study at TECH?
Specialize with us to teach English to children and apply the most effective methodology in your lessons"
Knowing the Teaching of English in the Pre-School is essential for teachers, since it allows them to acquire the necessary skills to make their classes more effective and beneficial for their students.
It should be taken into account that English language teaching is being taught from an increasingly younger age, which favors and facilitates its learning. The earlier a foreign language is learned, the easier it will be for the knowledge to take place innately, achieving, with perseverance and time, a high or practically native level. But, for this, it is essential that pre-school teachers are prepared and also have a high level, in this case, of English, which favors a proper study and learning by children. At TECH Global University I want to specialize them in this field, with the best possible education and methodology: a benefit for teachers and students.
This program is distinguished by the fact that it can be taken in a 100% online format, adapting to the needs and obligations of students, in an asynchronous and completely self-manageable manner.

The order and distribution of the subjects and their units is specially designed to allow each student to choose their own schedule and self-manage their time. For this purpose, you will have at your disposal theoretical materials presented through enriched texts, multimedia presentations, exercises and guided practical activities, motivational videos, master classes and case studies, where you will be able to evoke knowledge in an orderly manner and work on decision making that demonstrates your high level education within this field of teaching.
