We now offer the ELT Vista Certificate in Humanistic TESOL Teaching, a fully online, self-paced program designed for educators who wish to deepen their understanding of humanistic methodology, reflective teaching, and teacher self-actualization. This course integrates practical methodology with psychological insight and personal development, and it serves as the central training program within the ELT Vista ecosystem.
Publications
ELT Vista prepares a range of humanistic educational publications, including our foundational book What About the Teacher? – A Humanistic Guide to Self-Actualization for TESOL Teachers. This work provides the conceptual grounding for much of our current programming and reflects our long-standing commitment to teacher development, creativity, and reflective practice. It also serves as the primary course text for the ELT Vista Certificate in Humanistic TESOL Teaching. Additional publications are scheduled for release in the future as we continue expanding our humanistic offerings.
