Teacher Development Summer School
28 June – 4 July 2011
The British Council Ukraine, IATEFL Ukraine and the Institute for Innovative Technologies and the Content of Education invite teachers of English (primary, secondary, tertiary) to take part in the Teacher Development Summer School.
This Course helps participants develop their professional expertise in ELT teacher training and prepares them to train other teachers. It covers principles and practice in current approaches and methodology.
An important feature of the course is micro training, where participants put learning into practice through peer training sessions. Topics covered in the course include teaching and training roles, learning styles, motivation, issues and challenges, feedback and evaluation.
This course provides teachers with an introduction to the basic theory associated with a communicative approach to English language teaching. Its structure and content are based on the syllabus of the Cambridge ESOL Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT). The course has three modules:
• Module 1 – language and background to language learning and teaching
• Module 2 – lesson planning and use of resources for language teaching
• Module 3 – managing the teaching and learning process
This is an in-service teacher development course which combines input on communicative, learner-centred methodology and topical ELT themes with a structured language syllabus to provide for progression from A2 to B1 (CEFR level).
The focus is on developing linguistic competence and teaching expertise through a range of thematically linked tasks and activities providing models which can be adapted for classroom use.
This is a teacher development course which aims to build English language teachers’ confidence and skill in the use of basic learning technologies. It covers the following areas:
• Office applications for whole-class teaching
• Ideas for school links projects
• Evaluating and selecting websites and integrating the Web
• Skills development using the Web
This is a development course for teachers of English working with young learners aged 5 to 12. It is based on the reflective approach, requiring active experimenting with teachers’ own teaching. The course consists of six modules and contains audio, classroom video and community elements.
