Becoming a Better Trainer: Strengthening Identity and Effectiveness in English Language Teacher Development (24 hours, in-person)
Teacher trainers have a profound influence on the growth of others, making it crucial for them to have self-awareness about their beliefs and identity as trainers. They must also stay informed about new trends in English language teaching and teacher education.
This four-day course engages experienced trainers in a reflective journey, encouraging them to explore key incidents that have shaped their identities and practices as trainers. Participants will reflect on how their unconscious beliefs may be expressed in their training and interactions with colleagues and course participants. In addition, this course will equip them with the skills needed to apply evidence-based training techniques. The course is rooted in principles of reflective pedagogy and critical pedagogy, encouraging participants to engage in self-reflection, peer reflection, consciousness-raising and problem-solving, developing socio-emotional competence, all within the context of English language teaching and teacher education in a global and digitally-immersed world.
