Executive Training Institute

COURSE SUMMARY:
The aim of this two-week course is for teachers and teacher trainers to experience a range of interesting activities linking methodology and learning theories to the Primary classroom today. Sessions will be practical, include a focus on using technology and multi-media, and will help teachers reflect on their approach to teaching today's students.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
Primary level teachers who would like to refresh their teaching methods and techniques. Participants need to be at a B1 level of English.

PREPARATION:
After registration, participants on this course programme will receive:
- A pre-course questionnaire which will enable trainers to learn about the participants' teaching backgrounds
- Information about the Europass Mobility Certificate
- A recommended reading list to prepare participants for various aspects of the course

OBJECTIVES:
- To enable a better understanding of Primary Language Teaching and expand and build on previous knowledge, using a range of practical methodologies

METHODOLOGY:
- Sessions demonstrate current approaches, methodologies and techniques.
- An interactive communicative approach is applied, which provides participants with their own experiential learning of the activities and methodologies.
- Input sessions are in the form of hands-on workshops and involve brainstorming, analysis, problem-solving, and role-play, both in pair work and group work.
- Teachers are asked to reflect on the activities, inviting discussion with regard to their own pedagogical knowledge and skills, teaching methods and contexts, and on adaptation of activities to their teaching and learning situations.
- Both teaching and learning are explored, analysed and discussed, further enabling the participants’ use of their communication skills in English.
- Participants are also introduced to websites related to the further development of their teaching skills and personal professional development.

FOLLOW UP:
