Keep an eye on this page! We are currently working on the programme and we will keep adding names of speakers.

The course programme will be tailored towards your needs. You will have a change to select topics and themes that are relevant to you. For example: topics including skills, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, critical thinking, motivation, classroom management, warmers, fillers, and coolers. 

The final course programme will be shared with you one week before the course.

Input sessions followed by an informal round table discussion
Working in a small group, you will be able to fully benefit from this development opportunity.
The course will consist of 3 days of 7 teaching hours. The day will be divided into three blocks of 90 minutes. The last block will be followed by a round table during which the presenters and participants can mingle to discuss current teaching topics and issues.

Course programme accredited by the Ministry of Education
The course programme is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education. You may use your “Šablony” to finance this unique development opportunity. You can also use bonus points from P.A.R.K. Cambridge Exam Centre to pay for the course.
