Teachers thinking of coming to take our two-week TEACHING LEXICALLY course often ask about visa applications. In this short video, Andrew explains the process – and how we try to ensure things are as stress-free as possible for you. Got any further questions? Message me. I’m always happy to help.
Our two-week TEACHING LEXICALLY course offers much more than just teacher development. We also provide a full social programme as part of the service, and it’s often on these outings that we have the most meaningful conversations, as Andrew explains today. www.lexicallab.com/teacher-deve...
You won’t be surprised to hear that we’re very proud of our two-week Teaching Lexically summer school course. Don’t just take our word for how good the course is, though,. Listen to what the teachers who attended last year had to say about their time with us: www.lexicallab.com/teacher-deve...
One of the most common questions we get asked about our Teaching Lexically summer school course is whether we provide accommodation. This video aims to answer that particular FAQ. www.lexicallab.com/teacher-deve...

#teacherdevelopment #teachingtips #CELTA #DELTA Principles about language and learning should be the starting point of training, but they can also help us develop and adapt to new technologies or lack of resources in a confident way.
Training can sometimes create bad rules for teachers because of the circumstances of the training and restrictions involved - coupled with a failure to be explicit of basic beliefs and principles. #CELTA #teachertraining #teacherdevelopment
#teacherdevelopment #Teachingtips Our final webinar of the year is on Saturday 6th Dec at 9am UK time. I'll be talking about the nature of difficulty and challenge. www.lexicallab.com/webinars
Our next webinar is on Sat 6th December 9am. You can register here: www.lexicallab.com/webinars/. If you can't make it on the day, we will send you a recording.
Because of the focus on building grammar forms on the one hand and not allowing students to say things that are grammatically wrong, low-level materials don't ask about learners' opinions much. We could do more to fill that gap.
#EFL #ELT #teachEnglish #teachingtips Critical thinking tasks are difficult at low levels but not imposible. Do you have any ideas?
There is language that students need to talk critically about texts. Some isn't necessarily difficult, but there may be room for allowing some discussion in the L1 and using this to teach the language students need.
