Cultural Immersion, Learner Diversity Awareness And Methodology For Teachers Of English is a two-week course for teachers of English as a Foreign/Second Language. The course provides training in linguistic competence, cultural awareness and practical methodology. It aims to immerse teachers from culturally and ethnically homogeneous environments in a diverse, multi-cultural educational setting.
For the Language Mastery For International Communication sessions teachers will be placed in multicultural mixed-gender groups of adult learners to improve their communication skills. Teachers will be internationalised by being exposed to different cultures, ethnicities, religious views, accents and learner needs. They will experience being a person of minority in an educational setting in a foreign country. In the Cultural Immersion And Networking Project sessions course participants will be taken on field trips and required to interview native-speakers of English. They will be shown how CLIL and culture can be included in field trips and projects. These sessions will immerse them in local culture in a meaningful context. It is also a simulation of an international project group, which in real-life would include people of different background and linguistic ability. In the first week, the teaching methodology sessions will examine topics chosen by course participants in the introductory stage of the course. In the second week of the course, learners will further explore these areas and carry out practical tasks. They will discuss lesson plans, teaching strategies, design activities and adapt resources for diverse learner needs and levels. They will be expected to design activities which bridge learner differences and aid communication in multicultural and multi-lingual classes. These sessions are intended to prepare teachers to work with students of differing needs and backgrounds.
