Teachers who have some experience in teaching a subject in English or teachers who have some limited experience of teaching English as a Foreign Language.
- Provide the teachers with the opportunity to familiarise themselves with basic concepts related to language, language use and the background to and practice of language teaching and learning. - Support teachers in their reflection on their own teaching and how this impacts on their students' learning.
a) Language & Background to Language Learning: - Language and its uses - Language skills - Learning strategies b) Language & Background to Language Teaching: - Planning and choosing resources and materials - Teachers' and learners' language in the classroom c) Classroom management Methodology: The English for Teachers I course combines Language Teaching and Language Learning studies and it consists of twenty four modules. Each of the modules is self-contained and includes a variety of activities which provide regular and integrated coverage of the language skills, opportunities for the study of the language system, ways of developing teaching-related language, language awareness and cultural awareness, as well as awareness and evaluation of teaching methodologies. At the end of each module, the teachers have the opportunity for reflection on the value of the topic or activities to themselves and to their own students, i.e. the reflection stage provides moments to reflect on the content of the module and on the extent of its learning value. At the end of the course, teachers can choose to obtain a certificate of attendance or sit for an exam to obtain credits (GCBA). As the English for Teachers I course covers the contents of the ESOL Exam for teachers called TKT, participants will have the opportunity to choose to sit for the TKT modules in any of the exam sessions.
