Description

Let me tell you this.

You can not be a boring teacher . You just need a plan. And a little bit of imagination!

An online lesson always seems to be lacking something. Is it a structure or content? Ordinary exercises and textbooks are boring and mundane without “genuine real life situations”. Let’s make online lessons more structured and more entertaining!  Find out about lesson structure and new imagination-boosting activities for your students!

This course is for teachers, new teachers and teachers-to-be who want to learn more about CELTA methodology and standard lesson planning developed by Cambridge University. In addition, you will learn about untraditional learning materials for students, which promote interactivity and creativity during online learning.

The course teaches about

  • the standard PPP (presentation,  practice,  production) lesson planning

  • methods to boost your student's creativity with unconventional teaching resources

  • what is interactivity when teaching online

    • interaction with the “beyond the classroom” space

    • the teaching material composed of everyday language

  • how to facilitate interactivity during online lessons

The course shows

  1. The real example of a lesson plan "on paper"

  2. Demo lessons of professional teachers on grammar, listening and reading

  3. Additional videos about the future of language learning, the future of higher education, teaching methods for inspiring students

  4. Ready-to-use ESL lesson plans

  5. Real lessons for kids and teens on slides
