This module focuses on teaching English. Topics include grammar, how to maximise your students’ lexical repertoire, pronunciation and feedback techniques.

Module 3 – Teaching Skills
In this module, you’ll study active listening, how to help your students read more effectively, and how to write collaboratively.

Module 4 – ESL Buzzwords
Topics in this module include how to keep students of different levels engaged in the same class, how to incorporate critical thinking into your lessons and mediation, which is what the CEFR calls the 5th language skill.

Students and professionals use OI Digital Institute

The level of teaching, experience and patience from the course providers was absolutely incredible. It was intense, there was a lot to learn in a short space of time, but it was structured to ensure it was taught and consumed at an attainable pace. It was extremely rewarding.
