Preparatory Cert ELT for Irish State-qualified Teachers (Online/ face-to-face)
This course is specifically for State-qualified teachers (Irish State) and for those in their final year of teacher training college. The course is
open to Primary and Post Primary teachers. This short course provides teachers and trainee teachers with the opportunity to teach foreign students
on short English language programmes in Ireland, over the summer months.
This course will help teachers develop their own knowledge of the English language system and gain an insight into the theories of language learning
and language teaching. The course will look at a framework for understanding the different levels of language skills and competencies of learners.
It will explore methodologies and techniques for teaching English as a foreign language to secondary level students at different levels, and will
help teachers create and source fun and engaging materials for use in the classroom. The programme also prepares teachers who may have to teach
part or all of their course online.
The main aim of this course is to help teachers:
- Become confident in their own knowledge of English grammar.
- Understand the cognitive processes at work in learning a new language.
- Plan and deliver principled lessons for teaching English as foreign language.
- Select materials and design activities which are fun and motivating for students.
