Effective English for Teachers
Effective English for Teachers has been designed to meet the linguistic needs of Thai school teachers, administrators, and other educational professionals. Course content is adjusted to match the level of each group, yet there are uniform objectives:
- A practical understanding of how English works, in terms of grammar & its functions.
- A thorough grounding in the academic language skills necessary to understand & convey meaning in any matters.
- An ability to communicate functionally on a professional level, to enable interaction with colleagues in administration or other departments.
- The lexical knowledge to be able to describe classroom equipment & materials, classroom activity, classroom administration, to give & check instructions, & to report learner progress, attendance, etc.
- Counselling & support at every stage, to encourage realistic expectations in an environment of confidence & trust.
In short, the aim of Elite’s Effective English for Teachers course is to ensure that teachers and other education professionals are ready for any common classroom eventuality or day-to-day administrative procedure, of the kind encountered in schools, and to give educators the higher language skills necessary to express themselves in all these potential contexts.
Class materials include sampled texts chosen for the appropriate level, audio and visual supplementation, Elite’s own materials (developed especially to help non-native speaker teachers by our experienced teacher trainers), referencing of useful internet sources, and additional vocabulary taken from the Cambridge University Press Teaching Knowledge Test Course.
Elite’s training professionals have a wealth of experience and qualifications: many have considerable teacher training experience. The individuals assigned to Effective English for Teachers courses are chosen in cooperation with partner institutions in order to maximise participant satisfaction.
Effective English for Teachers is a unique course, built both to promote improved language skills for education professionals at all levels, and to enhance the quality of classroom teaching in partner institutions through the encouragement of a whole learning environment. Elite Training Institute’s international standard teacher trainers look forward to welcoming like minded professionals onto the course.
