Current Trends: Theory and Practice in English Language Teaching (ELT)
This two week course combines classroom practise and teaching theory for English language teachers whose first language isn’t English.
Current Trends: Theory and Practice in English Language Teaching looks at the underlying principles of teaching a second language and gives practical solutions for implementing ELT methodology. We look at how to motivate students, how to use technology in your lessons, and how to design a syllabus – all of which will improve your teaching communication skills. We’ll also show you how to cope with large and mixed ability groups, how to test students and prepare them for exams, and how to implement task-based learning.
You need to have a level of English equivalent to Cambridge Advanced Certificate or CEF C1.

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.
