LEARNING TO LEARN

This course, aimed at non-native speakers of English, is designed for teachers of children in primary or secondary education aged from 4 upwards.

Our primary aim is to enable teachers to help young people to become more effective learners. This practical course will improve confidence in lesson delivery and expand the participant’s range of methodological approaches to enhance classroom practice with students’ independent learning firmly in mind.

The course is not subject specific.

Morning sessions (9.15 – 12.35) will be devoted to refreshing the experience of being a student again. Teachers all too often become stale and lose sensitivity to the real situation of the student experience. According to their individual level of English, each teacher will be placed in a live English as a Foreign Language class to make them more acutely aware of learning difficulties from a student’s point of view. Furthermore, these lessons will facilitate the acquisition of general classroom language and practise the skills needed for active participation in the afternoon sessions. An added benefit is an increase in personal fluency in English as a foreign language. The L2L tutor will receive and discuss feedback in an afternoon session.

Afternoon sessions (2.00 to 3.30) cover some essential classroom techniques. The course emphasis is practical, focusing on strategies, skills and activities to use in the classroom. The theoretical rationale supporting these techniques is introduced where appropriate, including the eight Key Competences. Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) and Assessment for Learning (AFL) are featured as well as Building Learning Power (BLP) throughout the L2L sessions as recurring themes.
