About this Course

This is a course for educators who are interested in English as a foreign or alternative language and a project-based approach to learning in general, as an element of their own teaching, or for teaching on junior language courses. This is a two-week part-time course which provides qualified educators with a deeper understanding of concepts and practical aspects of technology-enhanced project-based learning. The course consists of: The 30 hours of live online sessions will be of hands-on tutor-led workshops which give participants practical techniques that they can learn how to adapt and apply to your students and manage project-based learning successfully. The four course assignments and the self-directed study will help you to apply your understanding of the concepts to your own teaching context and consider how best to implement these ideas with your own students. NB: A C1 level of English and teaching qualification in any area is required for this course.

By the end of the course, participants will be better able to:

  1. Plan, organise and manage project-based lessons
  2. Use technology with confidence and purpose in the classroom
  3. Write meaningful lesson objectives and outcomes and plan towards them
  4. Make good use of technological tools to incorporate assessment for learning in project-based lessons.
