Methodology

This is a practical course which uses real teaching and learning examples. Participants completing the course will return home with immediate, practical ideas to implement in their own professional practice and also with their learners.

Participants are expected to actively participate in the workshops, reflecting on their own beliefs and practice, and sharing thoughts, ideas and expertise in pair work, small groups and with the class as a whole. Participants are also expected to keep a journal throughout the course and engage in critical thinking and active peer and self-evaluation throughout.

During the course, participants will also take part in a range of activities where they will be encouraged to develop their language skills in a more informal environment outside the classroom and further enhance their knowledge of contemporary Ireland.
