The "English Language Essentials for School Management " is an Erasmus+ course designed to provide basic or beginner-level English language skills specifically tailored for educators working with adults, teachers of secondary grade levels and school administration. This course aims to enhance the language proficiency of teachers and adult educators, enabling them to effectively communicate, instruct, and engage with their students in an English-speaking environment.
The course is divided into comprehensive modules that cover essential language skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Participants will learn and practice fundamental grammar rules, expand their vocabulary, and develop their pronunciation and conversational skills. Special emphasis is placed on practical applications of English in an educational context, including classroom management, giving instructions, and conducting discussions. Throughout the course, participants will engage in various interactive activities, including role-plays, group discussions, language games, and language-based projects. These activities promote active participation, collaboration, and a hands-on approach to learning, ensuring that participants can immediately apply their newly acquired language skills in real-life teaching situations.
By the end of the course, participants will have gained increased confidence in using English as a medium of instruction and communication. They will be equipped with a solid foundation in the English language, enabling them to create engaging lesson plans, deliver effective presentations, and engage in meaningful conversations with their adult learners.
Please note: This course is suitable for participants with an A2 level of English. It helps participants use English more confidently in teaching and daily life, building on their existing language skills.
This course is delivered by native English speaker teacher trainers, ensuring you receive authentic language instruction and exposure to native pronunciation and expressions.
