Three OPEN courses are available in the Spring 2026 term (you can apply to one only):

 1/ Teaching English Academic Writing to Speakers of Other Languages (TEAWSL)

This course is delivered by Iowa State University

As a participant in this course, you will learn what academic writing is and how to develop courses that suit the writing needs of your students. During the 8 weeks of the course, you will develop an understanding of different approaches, types, and key components of academic writing courses. You will also learn important strategies for teaching academic writing skills in a student-centered classroom. Specifically, you will learn to teach students how to go through the writing process, how to search for and evaluate sources, how to develop arguments, how to follow the characteristics of different text types, how to consider the context/audience/culture, and even how to prepare an application essay for possible study abroad in the United States. You will also learn how to assess global and local aspects of writing and to give feedback. Different tools for designing course materials and tasks will be available to you as models to support your learning, and different experiential learning opportunities will allow you to apply your new knowledge and share it with other educators. Throughout the course, the topics and tasks will lead you to complete an Academic Writing Course (AWC) Development Project for your own context and students.

2/ Successful Classrooms for English Learners with Special Needs (SC)

This course is delivered by the University of Oregon

A successful classroom provides opportunities for all learners. Every student should be able to have an appropriate education, including students with auditory, visual, physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities. Successful Classrooms for English Learners with Special Needs is an online course for EFL educators who want to create learning environments to support students with disabilities. In this course, you will learn about U.S. laws and practices for supporting students with disabilities, review case studies from U.S. classrooms, explore supportive teaching strategies, and adapt strategies for your own teaching context. You will explore the challenges faced by learners with disabilities and apply practical strategies to meet their needs. Throughout the course, you will reflect on your learning, develop plans for your classroom, and share new knowledge with your colleagues.

3/ Using Educational Technology in the English Language Classroom (ET)
