If you…
… are not completely happy about your teaching and feel you have been doing the same things over and over, either by intuition or because that’s how it was when you were a language learner;
… want to have a solid teaching foundation that acknowledges the basic ELT principles and good practices;
… would like to take a course such as the Trinity CertTESOL or the Cambridge Celta, but feel they might be too overwhelming for you at this point;
It is time to start working on your Foundations.
Foundations is the course that will teach you the theory behind the teaching of the four skills and the four systems, making your teaching more principled, efficient and fun.
You will also learn a variety of techniques and tips to make sure you feel equipped to apply the theory you will see in Foundations.
