This course is practical and consists of workshops and input on the key basics in YL teaching.
Course Participants (Cps) will:
Seminars and inputs will take place completely online with interactive remote lessons. All trainees will then have the opportunity to peer teach online, putting their new skills into practice and receiving feedback from the tutors. There are no written assignments or coursework.
CPs will self-assess their learning throughout the course, compiling a learner diary which, along with their tried and tested lesson plans and feedback will provide them with a portfolio of ideas, suggestions and reflections to take them forward in their YL teaching.

Tiziana Pace is a teacher, teacher trainer, and has held roles of both YL Senior Teacher and YL Coordinator. Tiziana has a CELTA, DELTA Module 1, and is an approved tutor on both the IHVYL and IHCYLT.
I wish to point out that the course outcome was possible thanks to the tutors, who have conducted it in such a serious, dedicated and professional way, creating at the same time a pleasant, familiar and very nice atmosphere.
Now I fully realize that a YL teacher is as well a highly skilled professional who has the knowledge, skills, and flexibility and sensitivities of a teacher both of children and of language and needs to be able to balance and combine the two successfully.
This course was great. It had my head spin a little bit at the beginning because I wasn’t familiar with most of the thing our trainer presented us with, but that was the whole point 😊 I must say Kate did a really good job. What I appreciated the most was the hands-on approach which gave pace to the course. Well done!
