Teacher Development

English for Teaching Professionals

A Real English training programme @ELA

Our English for Teaching Professionals programme is an intensive two-week training course which helps teachers develop their language skills at the same time as participating in an innovative new professional development programme for teachers of English.

Our approach to teacher training is consistent with our approach to teaching our language students. Our courses are highly practical and engage trainees in real tasks designed to help real teachers in real classrooms. Yes, we will cover theoretical issues; however we at ELA are aware that what teachers really need and want is to put theory into practice. As a teacher, you want to leave a teacher training course excited about trying out the new strategies and ideas you have developed during your training with your own students in your own classroom. Our approach to teacher development will help you to achieve this.
