Who is it for

add to their knowledge of culture, history and general knowledge.
This course could also be interesting for Art teachers using CLIL.

No specialised knowledge about Art is necessary.
Participants need to be at a B1 / Intermediate level of English.

Course Detail

Methodology
Sessions demonstrate current TEFL ( Teaching of English as a Foreign Language ) teaching approaches, methodologies & techniques.
An interactive communicative approach is applied, which provides participants with their own experiential learning of the activities & methodologies.
Input sessions are in the form of hands-on workshops and involve brainstorming, analysis and problem-solving, both in pair work & group work.
Teachers are asked to reflect on the activities, inviting discussion with regard to their own pedagogical knowledge & skills, teaching methods and on the
adaptation of activities to their teaching & learning situations.
Both teaching & learning are explored and discussed, further enabling the participants’ use of their communication skills in English.
Participants are actively involved in the sessions to maximize their learning and to experience activities from their learners’ point of view.
