Course Description
This English speaking course for teachers is designed to help educators improve clarity and confidence in spoken English. It differs from our English Language Course - Beginner, as this specifically focuses on practical communication skills needed for everyday interactions and classroom situations. Participants will assess their current abilities, review pronunciation and intonation, and gradually build vocabulary and basic grammar structures for effective speaking.
The course also emphasises listening comprehension and the application of speaking skills in realistic contexts. Teachers will engage in structured activities, short dialogues, and group exercises that support both speaking and listening development. Additionally, digital tools and resources are introduced to facilitate ongoing practice beyond the course sessions. The overall approach encourages steady progress and independent learning while maintaining a focus on communication that is clear, accurate, and functional.
Our English speaking course for teachers is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) at A1 - A2 levels, ensuring that participants develop intermediate-level skills aligned with international language standards.
It is also eligible as an Erasmus+ English teacher training course and is suitable for all educators, as it will be adapted to specific needs and school types, from primary to secondary and VET.
