Description

I havent been everywhere, but its on my list. Susan Sontag

The final module has three main themes. Firstly, we continue your practical development as you teach a group of visiting students from Japan and help other students prepare for an internationally recognised English language qualification. We also tap into your creative side with the design, rationalisation and evaluation of various types of learning materials including the use of audio-visual sources and project work. Throughout the module we discuss career development and look at how you can find work both in the UK and overseas. Time is allocated for preparation for job interviews and ways to facilitate continuing professional development.
