Develop Your Teaching has been designed for new and practising teachers of English to help develop their practical teaching skills. It also serves to update those who have not attended an in-service training course for some years. The course is aimed primarily at Turkish upper primary and secondary (lise) school teachers, but non-Turkish nationals and teachers from tertiary institutions are welcome to apply. The course is highly practical in nature and has been designed both to complement the theoretical knowledge which teachers gain as undergraduates at university and to equip those newly entering the field of ELT from other non-related areas with the skills and awareness necessary for effective classroom teaching. It is not an internationally recognised teaching certificate such as the Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Adults), but a teacher development course largely designed for qualified teachers to further develop their skills in the classroom. The course is divided into three parts: A, B and C. Courses A and B run for 20 weeks each and Course C runs for 10 weeks.. Part A - Each week covers a different skill/topic area with activities demonstrated by the trainer. Teachers are expected to participate and review these activities both in the session and at home using a 'Developmental Plan.' Teachers will be assessed on their comments and insights in their 'Developmental Plans.' This course runs for 60 hours over 20 weeks. Part B - Each week covers a different topic area, combining both theory and practice. Teachers are expected to participate and review the practical implications of these areas using a 'Personal Portfolio.' Teachers will be assessed on completion of the 'Personal Portfolio.' This course runs for 60 hours over 20 weeks. Part C - This is the final stage where teachers are asked to combine both theory and practice and will be expected to teach demonstration lessons which will form the basis of assessment. This course runs for 30 hours over 10 weeks. | Course Dates: | 8 January - 11 March 2008 - second half of Part A | | Time/Day: | Tuesdays, 16.00 - 19.00 | | Course Duration: | 20 weeks | | Course Fee: | 600 YTL | | Payment deadline: | Friday, 28 December 2007 |
