THE COURSE IS DIVIDED IN SIX AREAS:
1) Classroom Management
This topic includes classroom arrangement, managing, resource materials, maintaining discipline, giving instructions, the role of the student and teacher, etc.
2) Teaching skills
This is a very practical element of the course aimed at building the candidates skills in areas such as teaching grammar, vocabulary, business English, creating own materials, correction skills, etc.
3) Language awareness
This section aims to consolidate the trainees' knowledge of grammar and provide practical ideas as to how it can be taught.
4) Phonology
Focuses on areas such as stress, intonation, rhythm and the International Phonetic Alphabet.
5) Unknown Language
Trainees are put in the position of language students and will be taught an unknown foreign language. This gives a chance to view lessons as a student and note techniques used by the teacher when teaching beginners.
6) Teaching Practice
The most practical element of the course. The trainees teach real students of English and put into practice the skills learnt on the course
