Teaching in English I

The focus will be on essential presentations techniques, comfortably handling visual aids in the seminar room and strengthening the lexical tools required for giving lectures in English in an academic environment. The workshop is not intended to train participants pedagogical skills teaching, but to develop the ability to apply English to the teaching skills one already has. This workshop is primarily aimed at participants who have not had the chance to practice their English very much and have had little exposure to English since school.
