Course Description

---

The course comprises over 120 hours of input, and 10 hours of teaching (6 hours group, 3 hours 1-2-1 and 1 hour peer) over four weeks. Trainees are expected to complete three written assignments: Unknown Natural Language Journal; Learner Profile Assignment; Material Analysis Assignment; furthermore trainees take one examination (language awareness) and are also expected to keep their notes and materials in good order.

COURSE TOPICS

The course can be divided into two main areas; classroom skills and language systems.

In the classroom skills sessions, trainees are introduced to the history of language teaching, motivational factors, teaching monolingual and multilingual classes, the basics of classroom management and how to set up different types of lessons. Trainees are also asked to analyse and evaluate material and are shown useful techniques such as language games, music and song, and video.

During the language skills sessions students are given a thorough introduction to the sound system and phonology of English, and a basic overview of the vocabulary and grammar structures in the English language. Trainees are also expected to present a language point to their peers.


COURSE
ASSESSMENT

In order to pass the course, trainees must produce satisfactory work in all components. Trainees are continually assessed on their teaching practice performance, upon which the bulk of the grade is based. As well of this there are three written assignments, and a language awareness examination.

Please note that there will always be one trainer to every four trainees.

Prague
Prague is for many a place of weekend escapes, magnificent medieval architecture, traditional folklore and remarkably cheap beer. With it's stunning location straddling the Vltava River and set in rolling Bohemian countryside, the city is beauty, mysticism and romance all rolled into one. As capital of the Czech Republic it is also oozing with history and brimming with future promise, as communist rule becomes slowly forgotten and young Czechs go about their increasingly bustling city life. You can still get lost in a maze of courtyards and cobbled alleys, and you can still explore an endless number of churches and cathedrals, but behind those old stone walls you'll also hear the clink of glasses, laughter over a post-work drink, and haunting melodies floating from some front-room piano. Reason enough to spend more than a weekend here, and find out what it's really all about.
