Current Trends: Theory and Practice in English Language Teaching (ELT)

Current Trends: Theory and Practice in English Language Teaching is one of our two week summer short courses for English language teachers whose first language isn’t English.

The course looks at the underlying principles of teaching a second language and gives practical solutions for implementing ELT methodology. You'll learn how to motivate students, use technology in your lessons, and design a syllabus - all of which will improve your teaching communication skills.

We also show you how to cope with large classes, how to test students, and how to implement task-based learning.

How We Teach

At International House London, we focus on communication and speaking, with student to student interaction being used rather than a more traditional lecturing approach. This makes our English and Modern Language courses both exciting and rewarding, with progress being made very quickly.
