Closing event 2016

Our IX Facebook event will also be our closing event of the year. We have done quite a lot along this year and would like to take advantage of this event to thank you because you are the ones who inspire us to be better.

As usual, attending your requests, we have prepared an interesting workshop on the skills needed for the 21st century so as to finish the year with some reflections on what we have done and some expectations of what we should be looking forward to next year.

On Saturday 5th, we will  also thank the teachers who attended all Facebook events during this year, we will hand out the last TKT Certificates  and will give a little token of our appreciation to all attendees.

I prepared a short video on some of the topics we presented this year and while choosing the photos to accompany the topics, I could see that many of you have accompanied us almost all year long.

Thanks very much for your trust, your company and for helping us to pursue our goal of contributing to the professional development of our friends.

Coming soon !!!

Fourth Summer Course for Top English Language Teachers 2017

Ninth Academic Facebook Event

I cannot believe it is that time of the year again!!!

The end of our Academic year and our last Facebook event. To close this year and get ready for the new one, we had been requested to present something on the skills needed for the 21st century and so we are going to do.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Comments on the VIII Facebook Event: Latest Trends in ELT

How silly of me! I had written these comments so long ago that I forgot to post them.

What a pleasure it was to develop this workshop. All participants were so cooperative and eager to participate that it was a thrill to be there. When they were asked to complete the consensogram on how much they knew about The Flipped Classroom, Mindsets in Education and Creativity and Innovation, their responses provided clear indication that the choice of the topic had been well made.The participants who volunteered for leading teams were- to a large extent- very much responsible for the success of the event. My deepest gratitude to them.

More than once I have been asked why I keep taking part in these workshops, I always find the answer in the interaction with the teachers and in our sharing since we all come from similar backgrounds.

I am certainly looking forward to the next event.

TKT -YL Preparation Course

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.

Professional Development: TKT CLIL

The end of the academic year is getting closer and we are more and more involved in finishing the syllabus and elaborating the end of year assessment tools. However, we should not lose track of our own personal syllabus and how to achieve our professional goals. This is why I share information about our last courses of the year. Let´s start with TKT CLIL, a preparation course for all those who teach English in an English for content environment.

CTS VIII Facebook event was held last August 13th at Centro Empresarial Pardo. It was delightful to see so many people interested in knowing about the new trends. We developed Mindsets, Creativity and Innovation and the Flipped Classroom as some of the latest trends in ELT.

We also worked in stations and some team leaders were chosen from the audience. It was great to see participants involved in all the activities and looking forward to meeting in the next event.

Enjoy the video of the event!
