Course Description

This creative, practical and resourceful course is ideal for teachers wanting to update their skills and refresh their knowledge.

At their request they have now also designed very successful teachers' courses for Primary or Secondary teachers putting to good use their experience of teaching English as a Foreign Language to school-age students in monolingual groups.

The course combines language development and teaching methodology to allow teachers to refresh and improve their skills.
