Shadowing Project-based Learning

详尽课程说明

Participants take an active part in the delivery of our courses and collaborate with our experienced teaching staff in the planning and delivery of a technology-enhanced, project-based language programme for our second-level students. This includes being part of our teacher briefings before the classes start.

Aim: To shadow Future Learning teachers to see how they use project-based learning for English language teaching. This involves techniques for getting students to work together in teams of 3 to 4 on a series of tasks leading up to the production of a digital product, such as a video, which they present at the end.
