How to Teach Advanced Students

What do you do with your students when they reach the B2+/C1 level? Most of them have already gone through all the grammar, probably more than once, and they have a number of textbooks on their shelves that would do honor to many a school library. This course will show you how to prepare interesting lessons for advanced learners of any language using authentic source materials and modern techniques.

Dramatic Techniques and Improvisations for Teachers

The one-week intensive course is an exciting journey into the world of improvisation and theatre techniques, where teachers can discover their individual inner creativity and imagination. The activities that we will try together in the course can be used in any class. They will help students use the language they are learning in creative and innovative ways. And they will strengthen their self-confidence not only in the classroom, but also in their future professional and social application.

English Language Improvement Course for Educators

Are you a teacher who wants not only to improve your English, but also to gain a greater overview of teaching techniques? Are you somewhere at the B1+/B2 level and find it difficult to move on? Do you have limited opportunities to practice real conversation? 5 days of intensive, dynamic and fun teaching will take your English to the next level and give you a lot of ideas that you can use in your classroom.

How to Become an Authentic Teacher

"Authenticity" is the word of the year. What does it mean to be an authentic teacher and what does an authentic classroom look like? In the 5-day intensive course for teachers of pupils aged 11+, you will find many suggestions on how to bring your English lessons to the level of the 21st century. Using the "here and now" principle, you elevate your lessons to truly prepare your students for real life. Your students will always be one step ahead.
