DEVELOPING TEACHER COURSE IN BARCELONA, IN-DEPTH

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”center” up=”7″ down=”35″][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”48″ down=”0″][qode_advanced_tabs][qode_advanced_tab tab_title=”Developing Teacher Course”][vc_column_text]This program is suitable for you if you’re already TEFL certified and you’re wanting to live and work in Barcelona, as a non EU passport holder.

This course covers advanced EFL teaching theory, methodology and techniques and is aimed at newly qualified teachers who have already completed at least 100 hours of previous TEFL training and are working part-time or full-time as EFL teachers.

The course aims to provide a supportive atmosphere for new teachers to share and exchange classroom successes and failures with other new, ‘developing’ teachers and to gain insight and feedback from experienced professionals. The course also provides a platform to share information about life in a new city, including official administrative procedures and bureaucracy. By providing continued opportunities for reflection and discussion, as well as detailed input on advanced teaching methodologies, we hope this course will offer our trainees the chance to thrive and flourish as successful and well-rounded teaching professionals.

Upon completion of the course trainees will be expected to demonstrate the following:

Knowledge of the main grammatical, lexical and phonological features of contemporary English
Awareness of advanced ESL techniques and classroom approaches
Awareness of advanced teaching methodology
Awareness of applied linguistics and second language acquisition (SLA) concepts
Ability to evaluate, use and adapt published material and create effective teaching material, which may include using the internet, visual aids, audio, video and ICT
A good understanding of the main advantages and disadvantages of various language teaching approaches
Ability to evaluate their own effectiveness as teachers and to work cooperatively as members of a teaching team
Ability and willingness to share insights and reflections on their own teaching skills
Awareness of the need to continue their development as ESOL teachers
Ability to critically evaluate academic literature and journals relating to TEFL.

The Developing Teacher course is 48 weeks long (one year, including 4 weeks of holidays) and requires 20 hours per week of study. 3 hours of this is input sessions at the school, and the remaining time is self study.[/vc_column_text][/qode_advanced_tab][qode_advanced_tab tab_title=”About Barcelona”][vc_column_text]Barcelona is a city in the north-east of Spain and the capital of Catalonia. This is the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean coast with a population of more than one and a half million people. This old city is the most visited in Spain and attracts people with its mild climate and relaxed lifestyle, surreal buildings – Gaudi’s masterpieces, beaches and the sea, delicious food and entertainment for every taste.

Transport throughout the city is fantastic; it is very well-connected with the majority of Spain and Europe. In addition, it is among the world’s most bike-friendly cities with its 180 km bicycle lanes along with one of the most successful bike-sharing programs in the world.

Barcelona with its coastline offers plenty of sunshine hours to enjoy the local beaches. There are many tapas bars, cafes, roof terraces & pools to get that Vitamin D!
