This course is designed to provide quality training for language assistants, showing them how to plan classes, classroom management, the different methods of teaching English grammar and preparation for the Cambridge exams.
The objectives of this specialist course are as follows:
- In-depth knowledge of the functions of student teaching assistants and how they can develop them in an educational centre.
- Knowledge of different didactic resources for learning the English language at different educational stages.
- To favour dynamics in the educational relationship between the role of the teacher and the student assistant for the improvement of teaching in which they can manage and exploit classroom events and interactions.
- Deepen the developmental approach to teaching and learning in which subjects are taught and studied by means of a language that is not the learner's mother tongue.
