English language refresher course for teachers with Emma Wyatt

About course

The 5-day intensive language course for teachers and trainers combines English language teaching with an extension of pedagogical knowledge and personalized language coaching. Even if you don’t teach English or other subjects in English, we are sure you’ll take away a lot of useful knowledge and skills that you will definitely use in your own classroom. The course is designed to push your English beyond your current level and increase your confidence in using it, and also teach you many new learning techniques that you can use for yourself or for your students.

Our course is built so that you won’t be bored for a second. We believe that students learn best when they are actively engaged in using the language, so this course will give you the opportunity to experience this for yourself. Lively discussions and lots of interaction with the instructor and fellow students await you. At the same time, you can expect a personalised approach, with space at the start to define your goals, expectations of the course and preferred learning styles. At the end, you receive individualised feedback and tailored recommendations for further study from the tutor, as well as working with you to identify your learning goals and provide you with tips and strategies for continuous improvement. Through the course, you will learn how to become a more independent and effective language learner.

During the course we will go through all areas of language skill improvement together, including focus on key grammatical concepts such as tenses, conditionals, prepositions, and modals.
