Participants and tutors will be connected as a group for the entire duration of the course, ensuring an interactive and collaborative experience.

During the course, participants will have access to:

  • 30 hours of input sessions that will delve into crucial topics such as child development, language clarity and practice, the use of mother tongue in the classroom, teaching adolescents, lesson planning, and materials selection.

  • 6 hours of observation of experienced teachers and colleagues during lessons for young apprentices.

  • 3 hours of assessed teaching practice, a fundamental element enabling participants to put into practice the theoretical concepts learned during the input sessions.

  • Over 8 hours dedicated to assisted lesson planning, feedback, and tutorials. The lesson planning phase represents a crucial aspect of the course, during which participants will need to illustrate their thinking behind their lesson designs, demonstrating that they have assimilated the concepts presented during the input sessions. They will be supported in this process by their tutor.
