Course Summary
|
|
| |
Teachers who work in non-English speaking countries
often find they 'lose touch' with what is appropriate
in English or with new developments in the language.
We have designed this course to revitalise your
knowledge and use of English and to reinforce your
confidence in using the language. The course is
of a highly practical and participatory nature.
You will be engaged in and challenged by a variety
of fruitful activities. Although very much a language
improvement course, many of the approaches you experience
on this course will benefit your own teaching.
