Structural Overview
These courses will take place over either one or two weeks in Dublin, London, Leeds, Edinburgh and Worthing. A lot of course content will encourage peer to peer task, which emphasize on cooperation and collaborative learning. You will learn a huge amount from engaging with your classmates, as well as engaging with the course content. The courses provide opportunities for discussion and the sharing of ideas with colleagues from different countries.
Course Aims
These courses aim to understand and deliver upon the practical needs of the participants to ensure that the impact of the material covered is not gone in a week or two but is indeed sustainable. Everything covered in these courses is useful for the participants to be able to apply it to their own learners and classrooms.
Who is this course suitable for?
These courses are intended for English language teachers or teachers of other subjects who wish to refresh and expand their language skills and/or analyze, discuss and practice different teaching approaches and methods.
What do I need to bring?
Just yourself and some ideas! Our partner English school will be providing all of the course content and material. You will be given all resources digitally where appropriate so if you have a laptop or tablet that would be a useful addition. If not, paper copies for classroom use will be provided.
What are my next steps?
Once you have contact us and booked your course you will be registered as attending the course of your choice. A few weeks before you arrive, our English school academic team will be in touch to send you a pre-course needs analysis to ascertain your precise academic needs. You will also be added to the academic platform and share some pre-course reading (optional of course!). The Head of Learning and Development will be available to answer any course questions you have via email during this period.
Post Course
Upon completion of the course you will be given the option of joining an online platform with other course participants who have taken a similar course and join in discussion about best practice in that context. This platform will also support idea and material sharing. Your course is not the end of your learning, merely a first step in learning with the school community.
Online Teacher Training
All of these courses are available online along the same timetable as the face to face offering. Please contact us for any particular enquires about arranging bespoke online teacher training courses at dates which may suit you better.
