Creative methodology 10-day

This immersive and interesting Advancing your Professional Practice (creative methodology) 10-day course will allow participants to develop their English skills and personal classroom practice through 5 teacher-led lectures and 5 practical-based sessions. Having the opportunity to share your ideas with others and then actually deliver them in ‘mini lessons’ makes our course something unique and extremely appealing to the can-do teacher.

Alpha School’s 5 & 10-day ‘APP Teacher Training Programmes’ are our exciting and innovative new courses aimed at forward-thinking EFL teachers wanting to improve their classroom practice for a 21st Century audience.

Working with our enthusiastic and professional practitioners, a wide range of stimulating ideas will be considered to produce engaging and relevant lesson content for Secondary School aged students.

Course content will include the main topic areas:

Creative Classrooms
A plethora of ideas will be explored, including games, drama, music and art-based activities, to turn dry coursebook content into kinaesthetic, fun and memorable learning experiences.

Future Focus
Staying in the creative mould, the key focus here centres around using modern technology and techno-themed ideas to appeal to young English learners brought up in a modern and social media-centric world.

The World of English
Languages don’t stagnate - they are constantly changing and evolving so an opportunity to bring your own English skills up-to-date will be included. Additionally a number of cultural aspects will be tackled to help you keep your finger on the pulse of the English-speaking world.

Throughout the course you will also:

• evaluate and develop your own teaching techniques and personal practice
• be actively involved in your own lifelong learning journey
• discuss and critique your own ideas with other professionals in your field

Theory and practical lessons include: My Teaching, Active Teaching, Techno-Teaching, Dramatic Teaching, Creative Teaching.
