Teaching English to Young Learners
What I noticed right away was how
professional staff were. Everyone
there made us feel extremely welcome.
The staff made sure we had everything we
needed to feel comfortable.
The course itself was also amazing.
They gave us not only the knowledge
we need to further develop ourselves
as teachers but also the understanding
of what it means to work as a team
to create the best possible [teaching]
services there are.
Desislava Bisel

Everything was perfect! This gave
me the opportunity to meet a lot of
different people, all from different countries.
It was really interesting as I got to know
how they developed as teachers.
What really impressed me was how well the
accommodation was organised, we were
all very happy to live with very amazing
families. The hosts were perfect, they were
understandable, they were always available,
they helped us … and we managed to be a
part of the English environment.

12. A 60-hour course, Language Awareness aims to
consolidate teachers’ pedagogical language knowledge
and develop their confidence in using the language in
the classroom. The course addresses both the teaching
of language and the language of teaching (including
giving instructions and feedback).
There are three things that make this course a unique experience for any
English teacher. Firstly, it clearly boosts your knowledge about the language.
Another benefit of the course is that it offers you strategies in applying the
knowledge that you get about the language in the classroom. And finally you
get the opportunity of sharing the knowledge and the experience you get with
your coursemates who come from different continents.
In my opinion, the course is bound to help teachers develop professionally.
After you complete it, your students are certain to benefit from the extended
variety and increased output of the lesson activities within the framework of
communicative language teaching.
