Preparation

All applicants receive full course information together with an Application Form. Richard Language College then issues a Letter of Pre-Inscription for Comenius application purposes.

All successful applicants are invited to join a pre-course on-line forum. This enables them to prepare for their course with other European colleagues following Richard Language College courses on the same dates, sharing their professional experience and expectations of their training. Applicants will also be asked to do a short pre-course task.

Methodology and Teaching Strategies

This special programme concentrates on methodology. It aims to equip non-native teachers, in secondary education, with ideas and materials that can be used with their own students, as well as give them a chance to exercise and refine their own command of the language. The small size of the group gives participants the opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas with fellow language teachers from other countries.

The Special Methodology Course involves small-group learning for foreign teachers of English wishing to develop their skills. Lessons occur in a group of professionals and are designed to give an insight into current language teaching methodology and techniques.

Outcomes

The course aims to provide the participants with the strategies, skills, activities and language necessary to deliver a range of subject based lessons in English.

Follow up

1. Advice on how to access, from the teacher’s own country, changes and developments in teaching in England. A list of useful websites will be provided.

2. A post-course feedback session to encourage continuing professional development and evaluation of the impact of the course on their own day-to-day teaching.

3. All leaving participants are invited to join a post-course on-line forum. This enables them to share their experience with other European colleagues and to assess the impact of their training on their own classroom practice once back in their own country.
