The sessions usually start at the beginning of the academic year and are set up to suit your timetable. We try to be as flexible as possible to ensure that we can support you when you most need it, but also that we fit in with the multiple demands on your time.

We will also explore interactive teaching techniques and adapting them to your teaching objectives as well as understanding student needs and communicating effective strategies for learning in English.
We also offer:
≡ Seminars during the year devoted to the sharing of teaching practice and the exchange of points of view with colleagues from across the university who are also teaching in English. The seminars also enable you to explore new methodologies and to develop your language skills.
