COURSE CONTENT:
A) General English
The key concept is communication. We use task based, collaborative and humanistic approaches to create a positive learning environment where the focus is on practical classroom activities. All aspects of English language skills are covered – speaking, listening, reading, writing and mediation, as well as pronunciation vocabulary and grammar activities through a variety of mediums.
B) Project Based Learning – Module
Students focus on practical activities as well as input sessions to introduce knowledge concepts and strategies. By the end of this course, they will have gained greater insight into PBL and how to integrate it into their lessons. They will become more confident in their own designing of material, and of creating tasks to enable their students to explore, analyse, design, create and understand the world around them. They will take away project ideas and understand how assessment strategies can be implemented. In addition, course participants will walk away with a working PBL model with all the necessary components needed to carry out their project at their own school
