This is an advanced course intended for prospective
or practising Teachers of English who wish to
develop and enhance their language knowledge and
skills to the high level required of competent TEFL
ELT professionals.
It’s a great course for non-native speaking teachers
who want to raise their level of English in order to
follow internationally recognised programmes such as
the Cambridge CELTA and/or Delta but whose language
proficiency level has been found somewhat lower than

Specialism ) or a proposal for an innovation in ELT
Management (ELTM Specialism).

is a course highly suited to teachers who have
already completed their basic training and wish to
specialise in teaching young learners.
The course also accepts teachers
without prior training who would like to to use this
course as a short introduction to the methods and
techniques of Teaching English as a Foreign
Language.

teaching and learning and the effectiveness of these

education, the soundness of your language programme
and the satisfaction level of both students and
faculty in the language classroom.
Course
Organisation
 T 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.
N.B. During the course, your course
leader will invite you to a 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
Teaching online involves a skillset which teachers
need over and above their knowledge of language,
analysis, skills development and pedagogical
principles governing teaching a foreign language.
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.
