〜IIEEC Teacher Training ONLINE Certificate Program 2024 〜
Online 15-Hour Course to Learn the MAT Method® from the Basics
This program is based on the valuable 15 hours of videos from the IIEEC-OUP Teacher Training Certificate Program, developed with the cooperation of Oxford University Press (OUP). It is a certification program that teaches the MAT Method® through six workshops, which over 2,000 English teachers have participated in over the past 15 years. Originally conducted in three sessions over three months, this program can now be enjoyed from the comfort of your home. You can repeatedly watch the videos, deepening your learning while feeling as though you are attending the lectures alongside the enthusiastic participants.

– Details on how to submit the report will be provided separately.
– Report submission is optional, but writing about your practice in the report can deepen your learning.
– Please allow approximately one month for assistance with your report and for the certificate of completion to be issued.
■Three New Points and Benefits
- You can watch the videos repeatedly while referring to the materials. Being able to watch them again and again at your own pace is a significant advantage. Plus, the sense of being with other participants in the videos adds motivation during the course.
- We have meticulously reviewed the handouts (about 70 pages) to enable deeper understanding and immediate application in lessons.
- A dedicated trainer will directly respond to opinions and questions during practice mentioned in your report, making your learning experience more fruitful. Please write about any questions, problems, and creative solutions you discovered during and after practicing the lessons immediately after watching each lecture in your report.
■Three Points to Acknowledge
- You will be learning from edited videos that were originally recorded by IIEEC for archival purposes. They have received positive feedback for offering a learning experience comparable to attending live lectures.
- Faces of participants are edited out to protect privacy, so there are sections with only audio/subtitles.
- For the skills session parts, actual practice scenes have been cut to 10-20 seconds. Please pause the video as needed, practice on your own, and try to apply what you’ve learned in your lessons immediately.
This certified program, consisting of six workshops (totaling 12 modules of lectures and exercises), aims first and foremost for teachers to gain the confidence to teach English to children effectively, regardless of the classroom setting — online, large, or small groups. By participating, you can make your lessons more vibrant and effective, thereby also enhancing your motivation as a teacher. We hope you take this opportunity to complete all six workshops online and immediately apply what you’ve learned to your lessons.
■Regarding Video Access and Course Participation

■Three Important Points
- You will learn from edited videos that use past recordings from IIEEC. These videos provide a learning experience similar to attending live lectures.
- The videos are edited to hide the faces of participants, so some sections will have audio or subtitles only.
- For the skills session parts, practice scenes are shortened to 10-20 seconds. Feel free to pause the video, practice on your own, and try implementing what you learn in your lessons right away.
