Refresher Courses for Teachers of English

• Courses delivered in two week blocks
• Comenius funding available for E.U. Students

Programme

This is an intensive two week course of 15 hours or 25 hours per week. It includes an update on current English Language Teaching pedagogy in the UK and a review of current materials and examinations. Our staff are all DELTA qualified teachers and have been teaching English for an average of 10 years. Participants with full attendance receive a Regent Certificate and a progress report.

Mornings are usually to sessions on English language teaching methodologies and practices, for example teaching writing skills, using video, dictation in the classroom, error correction, teaching literature. The exact course content is based on the pre-course evaluations and finalised in a group discussion on the first day. In the afternoon, non-native speakers of English will normally join a refresher programme to improve their language skills (at their level). They can choose from the following options: authentic English, literature, grammar workshop or communication skills.
