Course description

Participants take an active part in the delivery of our courses and collaborate with our experienced teaching staff in the planning and delivery of a technology-enhanced, project-based language programme for our second-level students. This includes being part of our teacher briefings before the classes start.

Aim: To shadow Future Learning teachers to see how they use project-based learning for English language teaching. This involves techniques for getting students to work together in teams of 3 to 4 on a series of tasks leading up to the production of a digital product, such as a video, which they present at the end.

Learner Profile

> are coming as part of a closed school group
> have full police clearance and are shadowing another FL mini-stay group
> are willing to shadow our project-based teaching methodology in our adult course

Learner Outcomes
By the end of the course, participants will have had practical experience of

> planning for project-based learning (PBL) and adapting to resources and student needs
> incorporating language outcomes into the project
> setting a meaningful question or problem
> selection of the end product for teams
