Teacher Training

As dedicated professionals, we are keen to help practising teachers develop their classroom skills and personal expertise as language teachers. At the same time, our courses can provide a confidence-boosting Advanced English refresher that helps international teachers speak more naturally, with a more extensive vocabulary, and with greater accuracy.

We can design courses from one day to one month to meet the exact needs and interests of your group of teachers of English as a foreign language.

In recent years, we have designed courses for: primary teachers; secondary, junior and senior high teachers; university lecturers; and vocational college teachers.

We recognise that teachers work in differing educational contexts, and have different needs and professional development interests, so no two courses are ever the same. For your course, you could choose from input on topics such as:

• Communicative grammar lessons
• Using authentic materials
• Personalising your teaching
• Using classroom projects to involve your learners
• Developing effective listening skills
• Writing for added fluency
• Library research skills for academics
• The essentials of communicative teaching
• The EAP classroom
• Preparing your students for UK higher education
• Fun with phonology
• Using games and competitions to involve your students
• Helping your students become more fluent, faster
• Exploring British culture
• Teaching with film
• English for a multi-cultural world
