Teaching English - 
Motivating Learners and Preparing for CLIL

Making learning meaningful, motivating and memorable.
Come and join one of these fantastic courses, funded by ERASMUS+ KA1!
The seminars and workshops we offer consist of three main areas:

  • Practising and extending participants’ own English language skills through participation in communicative, interactive language activities. 
  • Highly practical, engaging and memorable techniques to use with teaching English. Techniques focus on developing learners’ listening, reading and speaking skills and on enjoyable and memorable ways of approaching grammar and vocabulary. Participants will learn a lot about how to teach English as a foreign language in a Primary School as well as in the first years of a Secondary School. The courses contain a great deal of advice for teaching motivating, communicative and student-centred lessons.
  • Preparing for CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning. 

These components will include lots of opportunities to talk in English and share ideas with other participants from all over Europe.

For detailed information please see the day-by-day programme.

A message from Alan

Hi everyone at Carob Institute! I hope you're all keeping safe and well.
 
I thought you might be interested in a free pronunciation course online. It's for an online school (https://online.meta.mt/) I'm helping to develop and there are several free online courses, including mine on improving pronunciation. It's aimed at older learners than Primary, at Elementary to Intermediate level (levels A1 to B1) but hopefully you'll find some useful suggestions for your own Pronunciation and some ideas for teaching pronunciation (and a few other things ...). Anyway, the course is at 
English Pronunciation Course with Alan - Learn English Online. Remember, it's free for the moment but they'll start charging sometime soon in the future. 
 
Keep safe and well and I'm really looking forward to meeting some of you face-to face in 2021.
 
A big virtual hug to all my friends on past and future Carob Institute Erasmus courses!
 
Good luck with the new academic year and all its challenges.
 
All the best,
Alan

What Other teachers Are Saying

I would highly recommend this course to other teachers because - besides the well-chosen social activities-, the course contained a rich variety of methods, games, raps, songs and chants, which can immediately be used in the primary and secondary EFL classroom. It was a great experience.

It was a great week: brilliant course, brilliant organiser and brilliant isle of Cyprus with sandy beaches!
Thanks for everything!

The ERASMUS Course for Teachers of English in Taormina is well-organised, full of new ideas, methods and techniques and helps participants not only to improve their own speaking ability but also their social and cultural skills – it broadens ones mind!

I would like to thank Gerdy for the impeccable organisation. Personally, for me this was the perfect course, a combination of learning and summer holiday. Alan Marsh did a great job, his classes were extremely professional and I intend to use everything I learnt during the course in my classes.
I will definitely recommend the course to all my colleagues and will inform the National Agency in Hungary about the high quality courses organized by Carob Institute. If you are looking for a useful course combined with a breathtaking view to the bay and Mount Etna, and with the best of Sicilian cuisine then Taormina should be your next destination.
