Description

This course is designed for teachers who want to develop effective and engaging oral language teaching strategies for very young learners, who don’t read yet or are learning to do it, and for young learners. The focus is on providing a fun, interactive, and stress-free learning environment where teachers will experience a range of activities that they can later adapt for different age groups. The course integrates theory and practice, ensuring that participants understand the principles behind the activities they implement in their own classrooms.

This five-day course provides teachers with practical methods to teach English or any other language at early stages, through storytelling, games, songs, role-playing, and movement-based activities. It follows a communicative and multisensory approach, emphasizing real-life interactions and playful engagement to build confidence in the learning of English. Foreign language teachers know it is not the same teaching non readers than older learne
