Tochni, Cyprus
Teaching English - Motivating Learners and Preparing for CLIL

The context in which the courses are held, Tochni, Cyprus, which lies on Cyprus’ southern coast, not only allows us to learn much about the history, culture and economy of this fascinating area on the southernmost border of the European continent. It also allows us to come into direct contact with some of the political and social challenges of a region that has been hit hard by the financial/ economic crisis experienced by Cyprus during the last few years. Near to Tochni lies Nicosia, Europe’s only divided city, a wound that still hurts Cypriots today. Being there and talking to Cypriots  will give us a sense of the atmosphere which prevails in this unresolved situation.

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

Annette


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!
Yvonne

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.
