Job Shadowing for English Language Teachers
This course is designed to help English language teachers to develop their skills by observing a range of methodologies in action.
By observing our trainers in the classroom, you will have the opportunity to analyse new practices and approaches. In follow up workshops you are invited to discuss with fellow participants what you have observed, and to explore ways to enhance your own teaching skills.
The course will provide an overview of the latest methodologies in teaching languages, explore new materials, and discuss how to make creativity a cornerstone of your teaching practice. You will work on some lesson materials personalized to your own teaching context which will be presented at the end of the week.
