Description

20-hour Online Teacher Development Course

Course Description:

This course is designed to raise awareness of the key elements of English pronunciation for teachers of all subjects. The course is practice-driven and adopts the ‘learning by doing’ approach, as it involves participants in experiencing and reflecting on various classroom activities that make learning enjoyable and effective.

Throughout the course participants will also develop their cooperative skills through participation in classroom activities in pairs or small groups and through peer feedback.

• All our online courses consist of on-demand input videos and downloadable resources, interactive exercises, tasks for the classroom and face-to-face interviews and feedback sessions.
