effectiveness of these skills directly impacts the quality of language
education, the soundness of your language programme and the satisfaction level
of both students and faculty in the language classroom.
Course Organisation

he
course is delivered via Moodle, an asynchronous LMS (Learning
Management System), which means that you will be able to log in and complete
your coursework whenever you can. There is no set timetable for this although it
is expected that you will need to put in a total of of at least 50-60 hours of
individual work to complete tasks set by your course leader and to write up your
Module 3 extended assignment.

number of short live meetings in our online webinar room to keep in touch and
connect with other colleagues following the programme.
Will face-to-face teaching be replaced by online teaching?
This may happen one day, and
sooner
than we think. Today, there are millions of learners worldwide who have opted
for this mode of learning because of its convenience and immediacy.
Teachers who work online are becoming more and more common and
much of our training and development has now started being offered online as
well!!!
How you will benefit from this course

above their knowledge of language, analysis, skills development and pedagogical

This course will prepare you to be a more skilled teacher and
will help you acquire confidence and criteria for choosing and using the best
applications and tools for your teaching.
