Online Intern EFL Teacher Spring 2026

Internship Overview

We are offering an opportunity for teacher trainees to gain experience teaching online: to fulfill teaching practice (practicum/internship) requirements for certificate or degree programs, to gain more virtual classroom experience to further their teaching career, and to have the opportunity to observe professionally-taught lessons in conjunction with teaching practice. Online instruction occurs in a live video format (on Zoom) so that students can interact with their instructor and peers, doing partner and group work and participating in all-class discussions. Our live online courses are non-credit bearing and are designed to help our international students improve their English-speaking skills. The majority of our students are high school-aged.

Minimum Time Requirement

The internship length is a minimum of 15 hours, including at least 5 hours of observing classes taught by professional teachers and at least 10 hours of teaching practice. Because this is an unpaid internship, students are encouraged to consult with their faculty advisor to determine if this opportunity is eligible for academic credit. If fulfilling required practice hours for a certificate or degree program, teaching hour requirements may vary by institution.
