topics:
Language
practice for primary and secondary teachers:
Many practising
teachers, especially those who always teach at the same
level, often feel the need to go back to the classroom
and revise and improve their own English. Language changes
and this course gives teachers an opportunity to practise
contemporary English in a multilingual situation. Materials
are selected which give teachers maximum talking time
and every chance to improve both their accuracy and fluency.
In addition, close attention is given to the expansion
of teachers' active vocabulary, including idiom and collocation.
Teaching Grammar :
Most teachers are concerned with the need to incorporate grammar,
whether explicitly or implicitly, into their lesson planning. This course
presents techniques which teach and practise various structures in
interactive activities that are both effective and fun to use. Teachers
sample a range of techniques designed to remedy particular
problems through pictures, games and mini-dialogues.
Integrated Skills:
The greatest incentive for learners of English is that the language will enable them to understand the world around them better. They will want to leave the classroom able to listen to English language songs, to watch English language TV or to read English language newspapers. We offer practical advice and materials designed to bring the world outside into the classroom so that you can help your students to develop their listening and reading skills.
Multimedia for the Classroom:
This new course looks at how English language teachers can use computers and associated technology to bring a new dimension to their teaching. The course covers these main areas:
Language teaching and learning resources found on the internet
How to select and adapt material (both authentic and those specially selected for language teaching and learning) for your own teaching situation
Developing teaching and learning materials using everyday software packages
Assessing the value of teaching and learning materials
These
one-week courses are designed for teachers and student
teachers of English who wish to become more effective
in the classroom.
The
courses are not lecture based. Teachers are put in the
position of experiencing techniques for themselves.
They then have the opportunity to evaluate the suitability
of them for their own teaching situation.
It
is possible to stay for 1,2 or 3 weeks to follow different
course topics. They are available to both individuals
and groups.
KSE
is also happy to assist with applications for course
sponsorship to government bodies, local authorities
and the European Union.
Activities: (programmes
vary each week)
•
The
social activity programme is an important part of all
our teacher training courses. Four evening activities
are organised each week, giving course participants
the chance to mix informally with each other and with
KSE teachers.
