This course looks at the challenges of using English as a medium of instruction and CLIL for teachers and students who are non-native English speakers. It introduces some key principles along with a range of different approaches and ideas. The primary focus is on practical ways of introducing English as a Medium of Instruction and CLIL into existing course programmes and into a classroom teaching environment. Included is an optional team-building activity.
After registration, participants on this course programme will receive:
At the end of the course, you will:
An interactive communicative approach is used throughout, which lets participants experience first-hand the activities and methodologies that they can then go on to use in their own teaching contexts.
Key theories and practical ideas are discussed and explored thoroughly in hands-on input sessions, with participants playing an active role in all sessions to maximise their learning.
All input sessions involve brainstorming, case study analysis, problem-solving, and role-play tasks, both in pair- and group-work scenarios.
Participants are asked to reflect on the tasks carried out in each session, inviting discussion with regard to their own pedagogical knowledge and teaching contexts.
Participants are also introduced to key websites and other resources related to the further development of their teaching skills and personal professional development.
Language skills are also developed and feedback given where appropriate.
The course ends with an evaluation session, in which you will be asked to reflect upon the knowledge you have gained during the course.
You will also be encouraged in this session to create a Personal Development Action Plan, and select activities that you would like to try out in your own classes.
You will also be invited to join the York Associates Community, which allows networking and contact with the trainers and fellow participants from the programme, as well as learners from York Associates’ other courses.
There is also the opportunity for follow-up online training sessions to further consolidate your learning and reflect on how you are implementing what you learnt on the course into your own contexts.
There is nothing I can suggest to improve York Associates, it’s perfect!
Everything at York Associates was excellent, I would definitely recommend them.
I felt welcome during the whole process
