IV Congreso Internacional de Profesores de Inglés

 Happy to be part of it!!!

International Forum

A real important event to find out what proposals there are for tackling the challenges in Education

 

Growth mindset

If you have a growth mindset (Carol Dweck, 2006), you understand that effort makes you stronger, that if you put in extra time and effort, take on challenges and learn from them, this will lead to higher achievement.

In CTS we have created a programme that encourages students to have a growth mindset. If you are a person that wants to obtain the Cambridge B2 First Certificate this year and want to invest time and effort to achieve it, this is the course for you.

There are a few seats left, we are waiting for you.

 

Super intensive course

 

XXXIII CTS event

 This event was a real blast thanks to all the participants. I feel blessed for having chosen this career. Thank you so much!!

Course: Teaching English to Young Learners

Some people believe that it is easy to teach children because they only want to play, it is true that they love to play but they also love to learn and teaching English to them is a very good combination of fun and knowledge. This is a methodology course for teachers who prepare candidates for Cambridge Young Learners examinations. Classes are hands-on and resources and tips are provided. 

A friendly reminder

 

 If you need some strategies and ideas on how to help your students´ learning process and deliver a more effective approach towards teaching, this event is for you. We look forward to seeing you then.

 

Happy Easter

Preparing for B2 First

 

There will be in-person Cambridge B2 First Exams after two years since Covid pandemic started, because of this,  Customized Training Services is offering its first preparation course fully online. As usual, being a customized course, seats are few so register as soon as possible. You will find this course really useful. 

Tackling Grammar Problems

 In Customized Training Services we are aware that we, teachers, need to have a very good command of the language we teach since-as everything in life-we cannot give what we do not have. For this reason we have created these courses to support all those who need to consolidate their knowledge of some difficult or confusing grammatical structures. As usual, we provide personalized feedback.

Levels B2+ and C1 are already sold out but there are still a few seats for the other two (B1 and B2).

We look forward to seeing you there.

Improving Listening Skills

Para que una conversación tenga sentido lo único que se necesita es escuchar con atención, lo cual no consiste en callar mientras otro habla sino en apreciar lo que está diciendo”.

(Autor Anónimo)

La habilidad escuchar es un proceso activo en el que el oyente activa sus conocimientos lingüísticos, contextuales y del mundo aunado a una serie de estrategias de comprensión oral para interpretar el mensaje.

 

For meaningful conversations, interlocutors need to listen attentively-this does not mean to remain silent while the interlocutor speaks- but to understand what s/he is saying.

Listening is an active process in which the listener activates his/her linguistic, contextualized knowledge plus knowledge of the world and by using oral comprehension strategies s/he is ready to interpret the message. 

Improving English Language Skills

Customized Training Services has started a series of short summer courses for all those who are interested in improving their language skills. We have developed Listening, Writing and Speaking courses to help participants improve their communication abilities since besides all the Methodology we can learn, it is also important that our language level allows us-teachers-to better communicate with our students on the one hand and to provide a language model on the other. 

Ending the IX Summer Course for Top Teachers of English.

Today is Project submission day for the participants in the IX CTS Summer Course for Top Teachers of English . These two past weeks have been such a delight with so much discussion and exchange of ideas. I am so proud of these teachers who are so concerned about getting ready for the school year investing time and effort in improving their teaching practice. So much to learn, so much to thank them!!

Announcing CTS Academic event

Planning lessons for "the new normal"

As part of the standards of practice for any teacher, being informed, aware and reflecting on the important issues and challenges in the profession as a whole is an essential part of all teacher education and development. In this event, we will exchange ideas of what issues need to be born in mind when planning our lessons in the “new” teaching context.
