Beginning January 20, the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and Innovative Learning is offering a part-time TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Certificate of Achievement that is recognized by both TESL Canada and TESL Ontario.
The part-time Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL/TESL) certificate is a post-graduate 140-hour program. The program is designed to be completed in one semester part-time; however, students have the flexibility to complete the certificate at their own pace over one, two, or three semesters.
The certificate program is a hybrid program consisting of both in-class and online courses allowing students to take classes simultaneously. Upon successful completion of the program, students will receive Humber College’s TESOL credential and be eligible to apply to TESL Canada for certification.
With an increasing number of international students in our College, TESL training is no longer just for ESL teachers. This program provides any instructor or staff member with a solid base in teaching methodology, foundations of the English language, and ways to work with and support ESL students in their classes or departments, no matter the subject area.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity and the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellness in collaboration with the Consulate General of Jamaica and the Consulate General of St. Vincent and the Grenadines requested donations of children’s books for library stands across the two islands.
We are delighted to announce that over the past several months the Humber Community has provided tremendous support to this important initiative. Over 8,000 new and lightly used children’s books were shipped to Jamaica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Thank you to the Humber Community for your generous donations and sharing this initiative across your networks. We would also like to thank The Lions Club of Toronto Central and Michele Landsberg for their generous support of this initiative. Your willingness to support this mission will make a significant difference to make books and reading accessible to the children across Jamaica and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Sincerely,
Nancy Simms M.A. ADR

There is still time to complete Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire

This is to inform the Humber staff that due to the month end approaching during holidays we will be conducting our last outgoing mail run on Thursday, December 19, 2019. This enables us to submit chargeback reports on the last day of December (Friday, December 20).
We will conduct internal mail runs processing internal mail only but nothing will be mailed out of the college using postage.
Any mail that needs to be sent out must be ready by Thursday, December 19 by 9 a.m. This gives us enough time to process through the mail machine and have Canada Post pick it up.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
Thank you.
