Thank you

 It is always a pleasure to exchange ideas from different contexts. Thank you very much!!

Dear colleagues

Thanks very much for welcoming our CTS Review Courses. Because of the demand we are opening another series that starts in June. Look forward to seeing you there.

Use of English Review Courses

In Customized Training Services we believe teachers of English need to be knowledgable in both knowing the language we teach as well as learning how to teach it whether it is face-to-face or online.

The aim of these review courses is to refresh some Use of English issues at different levels addressing each participant´s weaknesses in personalized tutoring sessions. We are sure you will find them useful.

Summary of VII Summer Blended learning Course

Dear CTS friends and family

We are going through difficult times where reaching the end of the tunnel is everybody´s responsibility so we need to abide by the rules and stay home.

In these times of lockdown, we teachers have even more responsibilities than before since we are expected to help our students learn in a virtual context they are not so familiar with because they use it more for entertainment and pleasure.

We need to prepare online teaching material that is – of course- different from the material we use for face-to-face lessons and we also need to use platforms and tools we are not so familiar with and with little time to master their use.

We know that little by little we will gain more skills at doing this and will manage to reduce preparation time while mastering the use of the Internet tools. It is at times like this when approaches such as Gamification , Flipped Learning, ICT and Web tools  can help us pass on knowledge, consolidate or even assess it.

At CTS we feel we have contributed  to support our teachers by having chosen the above approaches as modules for our last summer course both in its face-to-face as well as online modality. 

We are committed to keeping on offering practical courses and workshops (online modality) about tools and strategies for online context not only for teachers of English but for teachers of any subject. Thus, we can help our teachers in their virtual teaching practice until the time comes for meeting our students face to face without any health risk.

Please keep posted, we are working hard to support you and meanwhile take care and stay home. 

Below you can see some highlights of our VII Summer blended learning course.

XXI CTS Academic event

Dear all

Please join us in our last event of the year. We will count on the expertise of lecturers from RELO Andes and MINEDU to wrap up our year devoted to Formative Assessment. 

We would love to receive your feedback and suggestions of academic topics for 2020. You are all very welcome!! 

International Teacher Development Conference

UDEP International Development Conference

I really like to exchange ideas with colleagues about different issues related to improving our effectiveness at making students learn how to learn. It is refreshing to know that there are many of us on the same page and that we care enough to invest time in improving our abilities to support learning.

Some mementos of our last Academic Event

On May 25th, Customized Training Services held our XIX Academic Event. We need to thank all those who made this possible: our participants, Macmillan, NUTESA and our two lecturers Ms. Liliana Burga and Ms Ellen Berry. Special thanks to RELO Andes for their FORUM magazines and for allowing the participation of their fellow Ms Ellen Berry. 

Public policy of English teaching in Peru expects students to end their school training with a B1 level of proficiency and that teachers of English demonstrate a B2 level, at least. How can we make this possible? One way is for teachers to train to obtain the B2:First (formerly known as FCE) Certificate from Cambridge Assessment.

Towards this end, Customized Training Services has designed a blended course to help our colleagues obtain this Certification with the quality, support and care of all the courses we have launched along these years.

We know how to help you improve your teaching career. Contact us at the numbers and mail addresses provided below, we will be very pleased to hear from you.

Thanks to all those who attended our XVIII CTS Academic event. Here you are some highlights of the day.

XIV CTS Academic Facebook Event

On February 17th we ran our XIV CTS Academic Facebook event on Back to School: What to do the First Day of Classes. Along the workshops we invited  some of the teachers to try some of the ideas presented in the event and share their experience with us.... and so they did. It is absolutely rewarding to know that CTS helps colleagues introduce variety in their teaching practice. 

You can see some of the highlights of the event below:

Due to the fact that Soft skills are skills that help success in all professional areas, in CTS we have devoted all our academic events to developing this theme, our Conference cannot be the exception.

There will be four presentations, all of them on different soft skills: Leadership, self-confidence, stress management, communication, etc. 

You are all welcome but hurry, we have sold half of the capacity of the premises already !!

Teaching is probably one of the most rewarding jobs although it may be the least well rewarded in terms of money in many countries.

In spite of that I am really happy to be a teacher and so today I need to thank my teachers for helping me to become who I am, I thank my fellow teachers for supporting and helping me to improve as a teacher. Last but not least, I am grateful to my students for teaching me how important it is to learn in order to teach.
