SUGGESTED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY LEVEL: ELEMENTARY OR INTERMEDIATE
Description
Do you need to improve your English? This course is for you!
As a participant, you will attend 20 hours of morning sessions of our partner Language School in a class composed by other teachers and students. Classes will be tailored to your language competences and needs: you can start your exploration with us if you are a beginner or you can dig deeper into the most problematic and interesting issues if your level is more advanced. In addition, only teachers will take part to afternoon activities focusing on local culture and history.
The English Language and Culture Course will bring a gust of fresh air in your profession. By its end, you will have expanded your knowledge about English language by observing and absorbing authentic communication practices, supported by local professional tutors. Furthermore, by stepping into a student’s shoes, you will have observed a class from a different perspective, and you will be more ready to reflect on your profession, and possibly modify your professional attitudes.
