A fun, interactive programme akin to “walking down memory lane” learning journey i.e. the nuances of forgotten technicalities of English grammar, pronunciation, phonetics, idioms ……… taught in early education but forgotten, for example, differentiation between verb and adverb

The apex of the programme entails developing and delivery of a practicum:  A 45 minutes lesson to a group of diverse nationalities with different levels of English proficiency. Not an easy task, given the need for visible evidence of  student mastery of 4 language skills:

On a positive note, there are tonnes of webpages dediated to TESOL, ranging from grammar (http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar) to phonetis (http://www.cambridgeenglishonline.com/Phonetics_Focus/)
