English language course for School Teachers

Description

A dynamic and fun English language course with innovative teaching techniques to improve vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking with other teachers in Erasmus+ programme.

Many teachers see their low English language level as an obstacle to their Erasmus+ mobility. This course is designed to help educators and other school staff get rid of their fear of speaking, improve their English language level and be ready to participate fully in the international environment.

We will guide you through a series of game-based activities to introduce grammar structures and important vocabulary. The course aims to fully engage participants with digital tools, quizzes, and creative, fun outdoor activities.

This course is designed to motivate participants to discuss interesting topics, learn about other school teachers and educators from all over Europe, and make new friends, improving their speaking and listening skills along the way.

One of the best ways to learn English language is to interact with native speakers. This is why participants will have lessons with trainers who are native speakers of English.

The participants will improve their English language skills, learn about the beauty and culture of Croatia with other teachers and school staff. Participants will have a chance to interact with participants of other courses, network and create opportunities to develop international cooperation and projects.

Erasmus+ English language teacher training course was designed to boost participants’ speaking skills to make international communication among schools easier.
