With Teacher Development Interactive you will learn with the very best instructors. Each online module focuses on a different teaching skill and is taught by a leading expert in that particular field. You can choose to work on a specific skill such as how to teach reading or how to teach writing. Because Teacher Development Interactive is online, you can complete each module in your own time, at your own pace from anywhere you have access to the internet.
How the Course Works
Teacher Development Interactive provides teacher development and training through a series of modules which combine text, video, audio, PowerPoint, asynchronous discussion and quizzes.
Each module is hosted by a well-known expert in the field. The expert is a well-known author, researcher, or teacher trainer in English Language Training. The expert appears throughout the module delivering video presentations, PowerPoint presentations, and so on.
For consistency and ease of use, each module follows the same pattern of instruction. Though the length of each lesson may vary, the same amount of content is delivered across the module.
Each module focuses on one area of relevance to ELT teachers (see detailed module information). Each module features five lessons, and the format of the lesson is consistent across the modules.
• Each module consists of approximately 20-25 hours of content
• Each lesson is divided into 6 sessions lasting 25-40 minutes each.
Each lesson includes:
• Objectives
• 2-3 minute video introduction with an expert
• 2-5 minute classroom video demonstration lesson
• Discussion board
• PowerPoint-style presentations
• Reading passages
• Interactive concept checks and practice activities
• Practical application assignments
