These workshops will include a brief introduction to the main skills that learners need to communicate. Trainees will be encouraged to focus on how they can enable learners to use English for meaningful communication. This will include the use of English in the classroom, presenting new language, giving instructions, and how to stage a lesson. The training will incorporate methods that demonstrate ways by which teachers can maintain students’ interest and involvement.
