Course Summary

This is a language improvement and methodology course which aims to build up the confidence of teachers who face advanced classes i.e. students between Cambridge Advanced English level and beyond Cambridge Proficiency. “What can I really teach these people?” is a frequent thought.

This course will open your eyes to a wide range of exciting areas to explore with advanced students. It will provide you with fresh and motivating activities and strategies to improve both your own and your students’ English.

What are the key course contents?

Topics include:


How to create a powerful motivated cohesive study group. You will work on group forming exercises.

Practical classroom applications of the work of Corpus Linguistics (the differences between authentic English and English that is taught at many schools and universities)

Work on native-speaker errors

Having fun with English through language games, humour, poetry etc.

Cultural differences:
    • how to feel them
    • how to think about them
    • how to "teach" them

Work on your own and the learners feeling for ‘the Spirit of English’

New approaches to intensive one-to-one work on the learners’ language
