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:

  • enable a better understanding of Language Teaching and expand and build on previous knowledge, using a range of practical methodologies
  • introduce new teaching methodologies and accompanying techniques, using hands-on experiential methods
  • help teachers reflect on their own teaching methods and contexts and develop teaching skills
  • introduce an awareness of technology and ICT in the classroom today
  • exchange pedagogical information and knowledge in a multi-cultural context
  • further develop participants’ own language skills
  • experience the cultural heritage of York

The course ends with an evaluation session, where teachers are asked to reflect upon the value of the knowledge gained on the course, create a Personal Development Action Plan, and select activities which they would like to try out in their own classes or projects. They are invited to join the York Associates Community, which allows networking and contact with the trainers and fellow colleagues, and with participants from other courses.
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.
