Course descriptions

We currently offer two courses of Methodology for English Teachers - one which is targeted at teachers of primary classes, and the other which is more suitable for teachers of secondary or adult classes. The wide variety of exercise types, including recordings, reading texts, matching and ordering tasks, prepare students for a choice of assignments, based either on their classroom teaching or on their familiarity with current ELT materials.

Each Methodology for Teachers course has ten units, and each unit looks at a different teaching area and skill. In the sample class pages you can see a typical unit and try some of the exercises and activities.
