Enrich Your Teaching Toolbox
Beyond theory, the course is a treasure trove of practical teaching techniques, brimming with tips and tools designed to be immediate assets in your English teaching strategies. The aim is to arm you with innovative methods and diverse practices that cater to different learning styles, ultimately promoting effective language teaching. This journey will leave you inspired, invigorated, and ready to tackle various educational challenges with confidence and creativity.
Experience Real-Class Dynamics
What sets our course apart is the invaluable 'teaching practice' element. It's one thing to learn new strategies, but applying them in real classroom scenarios? That's where the true learning happens. This hands-on approach allows you to transition from theory to practice seamlessly, implementing the freshly acquired teaching strategies in actual language classes. It's a safe, supportive environment where you can experiment, engage, and educate, all while receiving constructive feedback.
Observation and Inspiration
Additionally, the course provides unique opportunities to observe and learn from some of the most experienced teachers at Sprachcaffe. These sessions serve as a source of inspiration and a practical guide to refining your teaching methods and strategies. Witnessing these educators in action allows you to explore new perspectives and adopt innovative techniques, particularly focusing on those that resonate with your personal teaching style.
Continuous Support and Feedback
Throughout your journey, continuous feedback is a key component of your development. Your trainer will be there every step of the way, offering insights, guidance, and encouragement to ensure your evolution as an educator. This interaction is not just about correction but growth, fostering a space where you can ask questions, reflect on your methods, and make informed decisions on your teaching practices.
Overall Assessment Criteria

Developing Teaching Practice
During the teacher training program, participants will have the opportunity to engage in teaching practice, which includes a 30-minute slot with real learners followed by two separate 45-minute teaching slots with real learners. Additionally, the last 45 minutes of the input session on Day 3 from 13:45-14:30 will be dedicated to guiding course participants in lesson planning and preparation, enabling them to implement their newly acquired skills and knowledge in practice.
Section Two
Written Assignment
Trainees must write a daily reflective diary from the start, covering theoretical and practical elements and how to apply advanced teaching strategies in their teaching practice. They will receive guidance on organizing and refining their reflections, including what they learned from observing teachers and peers, and action points for future sessions.
