Course Summary

This course has been designed for experienced teachers (with 3 years' + teaching experience). The course aims to energise you and to offer you some alternative activities, strategies and approaches to teaching & learning.

As this is a methodology course, the approaches to teaching and learning will also be of interest not only to teachers of English but teachers of other languages. Occasionally, the course attracts native-speaking teachers from the U.K..

What are the key course contents?

  Topics include:
adapting your teaching to different learning styles & learning needs
putting life into course book exercises
adapting activities & tasks for different purposes and levels
learner autonomy and independent learning
student generated teaching
storytelling, music, songs, visuals, drama and movement
introductions to one or more of the following approaches to teaching and learning: Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP)/ The Silent Way/ Community Language Learning (CLL)/Total Physical Response (TPR)/Psychodrama Linguistic (PDL)/Task Based Learning (TBL)/Suggestopedia and The Lexical Approach.

Reference may be made to other current issues in teaching and learning e.g. Lateral Thinking after de Bono / Howard Gardener's 'Multiple Intelligences'.

Is this the right course for me?
Yes, if you are an experienced teacher who wants to participate on a course which will both widen your range of teaching options and promote your own creative abilities.
Yes, if you want to participate in a course committed to humanistic principles and approaches.

If this is not the right course for you, please consider one of the following:
Teaching English Through Multiple Intelligences - a course which investigates both the theory of Multiple Intelligences and provides you with approaches to teaching different learner styles more effectively.
NLP For Teachers - a course specialising in using NLP for personal and professional development.
Secondary Teaching or Methodology and Language for Primary Teachers if you want a course more specifically guided towards a specific age group.
