We all agree that primary teaching can be hugely rewarding, but being in class with children all day can also leave you with little energy left over to dedicate to your own professional development. On this fruity fifteen-hour course, we shall present you with a refreshing range of ideas all the way from tiny in-the-moment micro-strategies and catchphrases right up to full-scale craft projects. We’ll consider task design, classroom management, transitions, functional language, games, routines, learner autonomy and support with language. The six input sessions will be two hours long each, with a mini-task or two after each (e.g. short readings, practical tasks) which will count towards the accredited hours. There will be no pressure for you to radically change the way you teach. Rather, you will be able to choose what you take back to class to give your lessons a boost! Join us!

This comprehensive course is designed to equip EFL teachers with the essential knowledge and practical skills to effectively implement formative assessment and provide high-quality constructive feedback in their classrooms. Through a blend of theoretical concepts and hands-on activities, participants will learn how to design and utilize a variety of formative assessment strategies, develop clear learning intentions and success criteria, create meaningful rubrics, monitor student progress, and deliver feedback that drives student learning forward. By the end of the course, teachers will be able to seamlessly integrate formative assessment practices into their lesson and unit planning, empowering them to better support the diverse needs of their students and foster a classroom environment focused on continuous improvement. This course is an invaluable professional development opportunity for EFL teachers seeking to enhance their assessment and feedback skills.

This 50 hour blended course (synchronous and asynchronous sessions) will help both newer and more experienced teachers of teenagers to re-examine the fundamental principles that underlie their practice as well as well as providing a huge number of techniques, strategies and activities to make their classrooms more productive, to deal with common classroom challenges and to send them back to their respective classrooms energized and inspired.

The main aim of this eCourse is to facilitate a fresh new perspective towards the 21st century classroom. Throughout each module participants will find theory and practice intertwined in order to build a strong understanding of the best resources and strategies for second and third cycle learners.
