A word of welcome from the programme trainers

Welcome to The Boost Your Language Teaching Skills Programme, which offers you a highly professional language teaching development experience with CercleS experts. The course is carefully structured to give you an enriching learning and development experience of skills tailored specifically to the needs of university language teachers.

Your time in the training will consist of hands-on interactive sessions and lectures. Theoretical input will be combined with individual, pair, and group tasks. All activities will be based on peer work, self-reflection, and the application of ideas to your own context. You will also have a chance to interact, discuss, practice, and reflect on your teaching skills.

The Boost Your Language Teaching Skills Training Programme will also allow you to create valuable professional networks and make new friends in an intensive learning experience in a safe, supportive and synergetic environment.
