Course Overview
Improving access to the internet has lead to increasing access both to knowledge and to the tools for using this knowledge. The result is not just changes in the kinds of education that teachers can provide, but the methods and materials that students expect to use. Yet, while much about education can change, there is also a need to retain much of what has gone before. We need to explore how to integrate online and computer-mediated education with that conducted face-to-face, teacher to student.
This course aims to explore the opportunities for integrating different modes of education, using a variety of methods. It explores the tools and techniques for doing so, relating theory to practice in ways that teachers will find both effective and efficient.

Time will be built into the course for reflection and for participants to consider how to adapt ideas from the course to classrooms in their own professional contexts.
All NILE’s courses involve a significant element of English language improvement and/or development of language awareness.
How long is the course?
The 50-hour course provision is built around intensive tuition from trainers who are experts in the field of teaching English for academic purposes and also includes opportunities for reading and research, as well as guest lectures from well-known figures in the field of ELT. Classes are held from Monday to Friday and take place as detailed in the course-specific timetable but always within the hours 0915 – 1715.
