Teaching with Technology

‘Teaching with Technology’ is a one week course for teachers of English who would like to explore a range of practical activities using technology in the language classroom, at the same time as refreshing and developing their own language proficiency.

European citizens and those from accession countries may be eligible for Erasmus+ funding.  For details see separate page.


Details & Highlights

This course is aimed at those in the teaching profession whose current English level is B1 (Intermediate) level or above.  The one week course can be combined with one of our 2 week courses for teachers, another one week course, or with general English.

During your one week course you will have 22.5 hours with your trainers including an excursion into central London. You will be asked to complete a needs analysis questionnaire when you book so we can plan the sessions around the exact language objectives and interests of the group. During the sessions, you will take part in small group and pair work activities, open discussions and workshops, and your trainers will of course include error correction to ensure your fluency improves. You will also benefit from the combined experience and ideas of all the participants.

The sessions are designed to improve your English while exploring different ways in which technology can be used to enhance your students’ language learning.  The sessions are very practical and could include –

  • Blended learning
  • Using authentic video clips
  • Using smartphones effectively
  • The advantages of making movies with students
  • Apps for the English language learner

By the end of the course you will have improved your overall language proficiency and will have a portfolio of practical ideas for integrating technology into your classroom.

After lessons, you can join our guided self study sessions and can also take part in our regular programme of cultural and social activities, in order to fully benefit from your time in London.
