Course Summary

This course will provide you with techniques and activities, based upon Humanistic Approaches, which will help you teach classes more effectively, creatively and with a higher level of confidence.

You will also gain valuable experience of learning as a participant within a large group. This will allow you to understand more fully the situation and perspective of learners in the large classes which you teach.

What are the key course contents?
Dealing with homework and correction.
Creative activities for large classes.
Pair work, group work and movement in large classes.
