IH Practical Teacher

The IH Practical Teacher is a special two week teacher development course for English language teachers. It is aimed at teachers working in the UK or overseas whose first language is not English.

Practical Tips for English Teaching Abroad

In two weeks we will demonstrate practical techniques and approaches for teaching English as a second language.

We cover activities for listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as showing you how you can use technology to help with English language learning.

We look at the use of songs, games and videos for teaching second language English, as well as task-based learning strategies, and tips for preparing students for exams.

How We Teach
