This course is designed for teachers of English: it explores current English language teaching (ELT) ideas and methodology. It also revisits practical ideas that may have fallen from fashion; the role of British Culture in the classroom and how to get the most from observations – both peer and top down.
This one or two week course runs at Regent London and Regent Oxford and aims to advance both your English language skills and the pedagogy associated with teaching English internationally. EU teachers can apply for an Erasmus Plus grant for this course using the Erasmus Plus PIC codes below:

Teaching Methodology (09:00 – 12:30)
The group will explore practical and stimulating ways to make learning effective in the classroom.
Cutting Edge Ideas (13:30 – 14:30)
Course participants discuss ‘dogme’, ‘the reflective teacher’, how to maximise students’ motivation, how students learn (metacognition), encouraging critical thinking and the teacher’s role: coach, facilitator, mentor.
Performing and Observing (14:45 – 15:45)
Using role-plays, discussions and presentations we’ll focus on confidence and fluency in spoken English, as well as performance skills: body language, eye contact, voice projection and control – performance that can be replicated in the class room. Course participants also work on positive observation techniques, feedback strategies and using students’ evaluations to work on a co-operative learning environment.
