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. 

Due to the success of the XVII event on Formative Assessment and Elaboration of Rubrics, we have been asked to open a short course on Elaboration of Rubrics. We are sure you will find it pretty useful.

This was one of my favourite courses. It was really good to see teachers realize that most of the activities they did in class so naturally had a rationale behind they did not know but they intuitively guessed was the right ones.

I am sorry Cambridge University Assessment has decided not to continue offering the TKT Young Learners Certificate since there were many teachers who teach English to kids who could have benefit from it.

Customized Training Services is offering its last course and I hope we could see some of you joining it.

I am really excited and thankful for the way teachers receive these events. Thanks God for allowing me to exchange and share ideas with my colleagues.

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas. We would like to remind you of our Third Summer Course for Top English Language Teachers 2016 which will take place from January 18th to 30th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 pm.

This year we also have guest tutors and since you know every year we develop different modules based on your requirements,  we are sure you will be happy with the modules we are offering for 2016. These are: 

• Creativity and Innovation in the Language Classroom
• Pronunciation and Grammar development from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced

Last Saturday´s Facebook event was-once again- a success, not only because of the audience but mostly because of the quality of the audience. The topic of this presentation was thinking skills and it was really good to see so many teachers participating, expressing opinions and trying to make the most of their time in the sessions.

 

It felt as if we were among a group of friends exchanging ideas about what we think we should do to improve the quality of thinking in both our students and our fellow colleagues.

 

Once again, we have to thank NUTESA for hosting the event and providing the cozy atmosphere, the break and some of the presents for the raffle.

 

All these factors made me leave the event with a warm feeling in my heart. Our teachers are keen on working on their professional development and they do believe in lifelong training.

 

In CTS we feel obliged to continue working hard to reach the hard standards Peruvian education should reach and so we will. 

 

Thank you teachers!!!!

TKT Young Learners Preparation Course 2015-1

An enthusiastic group of students took the summer TKT YL preparation course with us (Customized Training Services) . Here are some of the highlights of the course.

TKT Young Learners Preparation Course
Thank you guys!!! This course was SOLD OUT !!!!. We´ll let you know when we start the new one.

Many teachers who begin teaching find themselves busy trying to survive and cover the syllabus. Many times-especially when they teach children- they focus on the subject matter, the methods and keeping the children quiet.

Fortunately, teachers gradually understand the importance of observing what children do and talking to them to understand the children's amazing capacity for learning and their multiple abilities.

Doing the preparation course for TKT Young Learners will help teachers of children examine their own teaching and their beliefs. It provides insights into the special characteristics, abilities and attitudes children bring to the classroom and will definitely improve their teaching practice besides providing them with an international certificate from Cambridge University.

We look forward to joining you in this course!!!!

 

The Second Summer Course for Top English Language Teachers has finished and I am really happy to tell you how proud I feel of the participants and how hard they have worked during the face-to-face and online sessions to use the tips they had exchanged in class. Congratulations to you all on your excellent performance!!!
