The program

The program takes place over 12 weeks, the first four of which are devoted to training and observation, and the last eight to online teaching and feedback. Time commitment is estimated at 10 hours per week.

In total, the program includes 120 hours of mixed learning.

Learning Phase

During the first four weeks of the course, candidates will develop their skills through four blended learning modules.

Each module will consist of self-taught teaching, observation of recorded videos of the VivaLing session, preparation of missions and two virtual meetings with other candidates and experienced VOLT trainers.

Virtual meetings will take place at fixed hours, scheduled before the course begins. All other tasks may be performed at the candidate’s convenience.

Training Phase

Once they have the necessary knowledge and skills, candidates will have the opportunity to put ideas into practice for eight weeks of observed online teaching practice.

During this phase, candidates will plan lessons, teach young VivaLing learners using our online platform, reflect on their own teaching practice, receive individualized feedback from other VOLT-YL applicants and trainers, observe their peers’ teaching practice and provide feedback, and conduct an independent study project in a related area of interest.

The modules

Each of the five course modules includes self-guided course materials and training based on scientific results and the collective experience of tens of thousands of online VivaLing sessions delivered to date.

This knowledge is complemented by online collaboration and discussions with peers and course trainers, interactive virtual meetings and practical evaluation tasks.

The thematic areas of each module are as follows:

Learning Phase (4 weeks)
