English teacher training courses
Professional development for teachers of English in the setting of beautiful Bath
This intensive teacher training programme is designed to enhance participants' language skills, deepen their understanding of teaching methodologies, and equip them with practical, adaptable content for their own classrooms.
The course combines language improvement tasks, methodological exploration, and guided discussions, ensuring that every session provides both professional development and practical application.
Each lesson is structured to include:
- Targeted language development to refine communication skills and classroom language.
- Recyclable content that participants can adapt and implement in their own teaching contexts.
- Methodology-focused discussions exploring the reasoning behind task design and delivery.
- Collaborative opportunities where participants present ideas, share insights, and engage in reflective teaching practice.
Reflection and Continuous Development
Reflection is a core component of this course, enabling participants to critically assess their learning and teaching strategies. Reflection will take place in various forms, including:
- Instructional reflection – examining the language used in classroom communication.
- Material adaptation – considering how lesson resources can be modified for different learning environments.
- Personal teaching development – setting individual goals, assessing confidence and skills, and planning next steps.
- Course evaluation – providing feedback on content, structure, and personal progress.
Independent Learning
In addition to structured sessions, participants are encouraged to take ownership of their learning through a minimum of two hours of self-study per week. This allows them to consolidate knowledge, explore additional resources, and prepare for collaborative discussions.
By the end of the programme, participants will have gained enhanced language proficiency, a deeper understanding of effective teaching strategies, and a collection of adaptable lesson ideas to use in their own professional settings.
