Our summer teacher training  courses offer training in modern teaching methodology, as well as on-going language improvement. Elements covered include:

Communicative Language Teaching, Teaching Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, Teaching Vocabulary, Material Evaluation, Testing and Correction, CALL, Teaching Specialised English, Course design, CLIL.

The courses are highly practical: teachers study new ideas and techniques. We have offered training courses to primary, secondary and tertiary teachers since 1969, on behalf of the Ministries of Education and other educational associations from over 30 countries. For 20 years, CESC has trained French teachers in summer for the French Ministry of Education, and has organised similar training programmes for teachers from Eastern Europe and Africa. We offer extensive private study facilities for all visiting teachers.
We also organise a variety of year-round tailor-made specialised teaching courses, with particular teaching situations in mind. These can be organised on request at different times of year, and can be combined with school and college visits (depending on the time of year). Areas covered in these courses include: CLIL, Teaching Young Learners, I.T. and the Internet in the Classroom, Teaching Literature, Course and Syllabus Design, Materials Design and Evaluation, and Testing.
