Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the start of summer. With the end of another school year, we'll all be taking a break between now and August. Before we go, here's a post from Graham Jones, the director of the London School of English in Odessa. Have a great holiday and I'll see you all again soon!
As teachers are on holiday during the summer months, a lot of them
use the time to upgrade their skills and qualifications. One course we've
just finished in the London School of English in Odessa is the TKT (Teaching
Knowledge Test) exam preparation course. This was a 6 week course
designed to prepare teachers for the TKT Module 2 (lesson preparation and
resources) exam which will take place on July 1st. As well as exam
preparation, the course also included a lot of practical tips and advice for
teachers, especially regarding lesson planning and use of resources. The
course was really enjoyable to teach and the participants (mainly from Odessa's
schools and universities) were really enthusiastic. Good luck in the
exam!
A more intense course will start in LSE on Monday
June 26th. This is a course for teachers to gain the internationally
recognised CELTA certificate, which allows teachers to teach English as a
Second Language anywhere in the world, including Ukraine. It's bound to
be an exhausting but rewarding 4 weeks for all involved, including the tutors
(myself and Kate Leigh).
If you are interested in either TKT (we are going to run a Module
3 preparation course in October) or CELTA, give LSE a call!
