A Typical Day/Week
A typical day will involve arriving at 08:30 if you are teaching at 09:00. Each morning you will either be teaching or observing fellow trainees teaching. After lunch, there are 2 input sessions conducted by the tutors and then there is lesson planning if you are teaching the next day, or lesson observation of British Council teachers if you are not teaching the next day. Your day at the British Council will usually end around 19:00 but this is only a general rule-of-thumb and you may find yourself either planning lessons or writing up assignments later in the evening.
At the weekend, you will usually be planning lessons for the following week or writing up assignments.
