Course participants are kindly asked to write a 250-word essay (minimum), in which they describe the following:
These tasks, which will be kept anonymous, will lay the foundation for the first methodology workshop. Prior to the course, we will send each confirmed participant an electronic questionnaire to ascertain their needs, so that we can adjust the course accordingly. Participants will be continuously evaluated and adjustments made in response to the evaluations.
Wherever possible, the participants are divided into multi-national groups so that they can practice their English communication skills. An important part of the course is based on workshops, focusing on various aspects of teaching and learning styles, introducing the various techniques in use, the challenges involved and their solutions through discussion, role play, team work and assignments. The methodology, along with the techniques used, aim to search and improve ways in which students at home can be supported to benefit from their lesson as much as possible.
Towards the end of the course, each participant will be provided with a private session with the tutor(s), so that feedback can be obtained and advice for further development given. Also, each participant will receive a certificate at the end of the course.
Airport transfer: [4] We can assist with airport transfer.
