Professional Development Workshops for English Language Teachers
|
RLI Language services offers a programme that is second to none fine-tuning your teaching skills, sharing expertise and exploring new and exciting ideas for the EFL classroom. |
We work together on improving EFL teaching skills by living and studying together so we can learn from each other's experiences and training. Sessions are led by an experienced teacher-trainer, but this is experiential training.
Everyone will be involved and everyone will have a great time!
There are 2 courses per year for up to 6 teachers, and these are absolutely FREE of charge
Accommodation (full-board) and the one-day literature-related visit is just a £175 per person investment.
Attendance is by application/invitation.
Please email us with your preferred date and information about your teaching, interests, and what you hope gain from the programme.

The Workshop
5 hours of topics for discussion per day (Mon through Fri) split into two sessions
- The morning session will cover language topics.
- The afternoon session will cover methodology, latest developments, good practice and other ELT-related teaching issues.
Sessions are interactive and collaborative.
One day is spent on a cultural excursion: This year we are looking at the Brontes. The day includes a visit to Howarth - the former home of the Brontes and now housing the Bronte Museum. If the day is fine we can walk out over the moors to get a feel for the background of their books.
My areas of interest are:
- Teaching advanced adult students
- E-learning and M-learning
- Using technology in the EFL classroom
- Language for work
- Using literature in Language teaching
- Classroom dynamics
- Keeping students engaged
Other topics are also explored and we welcome your suggestions.
Each workshop accepts up to 6 participants. We try to have a good balance of participants according to age, experience, language level and teaching interests.
We have 3 double bedrooms, one twin and a single room.
All of the sessions are FREE!
The personal investment of £175 covers the accommodation (full-board) and a full-day trip.
