WHAT IS THE RATIONALE FOR THIS COURSE?
Secondary school teaching has similarities & differences throughout the world. On these courses, you will have the opportunity to share these experiences with other teachers and with Pilgrims trainers. While the course will give you an opportunity to improve your own English, it focuses on methodology in Secondary school teaching.

The courses will also consider the relevance for Secondary teaching of recent ideas in the teaching of English as a foreign language as well as how 'traditional' ideas can be used creatively. You will also consider preparing interesting lessons for a variety of teaching situations (including mixed ability & large classes), reflecting on your own teaching situation & developing yourself both professionally & personally. You will be encouraged to re-assess your 'teacher beliefs and attitudes' in the light of current trends in methodology.
