Frequently Asked Questions

After registration, participants on this course programme will receive:

  1. a pre-course questionnaire which will enable trainers to learn about the participants’ backgrounds
  2. information about the Europass Mobility Certificate
  3. a recommended reading list to prepare participants for various aspects of the course
  4. information about York to prepare teachers for their cultural experience.

At the end of the course, you will:

  • Practice techniques for effectively designing lectures and presentations
  • Improve oral English skills, self-confidence and linguistic security in English lectures and courses
  • Improvement of lecture rhetorics through feedback
  • Development of a better understanding of various learning styles and how to handle them efficiently in communication
  • Improving communicative skills for successful intercultural communication, including building relationships, influencing and building trust

Absolutely. The course ends with an evaluation session, in which learners are asked to reflect upon what they have learned on the course. From these reflections, a Personal Development Action Plan is created, which provides the learner with a roadmap that they can use to continue implementing what they have studied on the course into their daily working lives. They will also be invited to join the York Associates Community, which offers numerous opportunties for networking and contact with trainers, fellow colleagues, and participants from other courses. Learners will also continue to have access to the online language learning platform once their live training sessions have ended.
If you are from a country outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a visa. Students from certain countries do not need to apply for a visa before arriving in the UK. You can check if you need to apply for a visa on the UK Visas and Immigration website.
We can recommend a few accommodation options. Find out about them on our accommodation page.

In the unlikely event of a course not recruiting sufficient numbers you would be offered an alternative.
