English Language Teachers' Summer Seminar
Overview
Welcome to the University of Oxford English Language Teachers' Summer Seminar 2019 offering you a first class professional development experience in one of the university's oldest colleges. This uniquely-structured two-week programme taught by a team of highly-experienced international trainers aims to give you an exhilarating and enriching study experience.
The English Language Teachers' Summer Seminar is designed for teachers of English working with secondary school and adult learners...
- who would like to refresh and update their English language skills
- who are keen to keep abreast of developments in ELT
- who are looking for fresh ideas for materials development
- who are interested in developing teacher training skills
- who are looking to revitalize their approach to teaching
- who are looking for meaningful ways of reflecting on and developing their practice
As participants come from all over the world, the programme is also an exercise in community building and international understanding.
The seminar will be accommodated and taught at Exeter College. Founded in 1314, Exeter is one of the university`s oldest colleges and is situated in the heart of Oxford. Prominent college alumni include the authors J. R. R. Tolkien and Philip Pullman.
Accommodation
Resident in College
Participants who choose to be resident on the programme will have a single study bedroom in Exeter College and will take meals in the college dining hall. All meals during the programme will be provided for college residents, except for lunch at weekends.
Bedrooms are located up the four to nine floors of a staircase. Bath and/or shower and toilet facilities on each staircase are shared between 4 to 5 bedrooms.
A very limited number of rooms have private bathroom facilities (shower room and toilet) and these are available for an additional fee. These rooms are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so early application is essential.
