Aims of the course
The course aims to prepare teacher trainers working on Trinity TESOL Certificate courses, but the skills can be applied to other training scenarios (e.g. CELTA courses, teacher development courses and workshops). By the end of the course you will have a greater understanding of how to approach teacher training courses. The content is hands-on and will include practical ideas and material you can use in a variety of training situations.

Course content

Testimonials

"The Trinity TESOL Diploma has been the most valuable learning experience as far as teaching English is concerned. It also pushed me forward, I started considering other TEFL areas and soon I wanted to branch out into teacher training. I felt the Dip had provided me with enough theoretical background to embark such an experience. However, I really felt I needed some hands-on practice. I spoke to Duncan and in no time a course was designed specially for me. I found myself observing & shadowing tutors, revising & learning, designing instruments, applying them and redesigning, writing reflections, preparing input sessions, guiding trainees through lesson planning and feedback and when I started working, it felt just like being already there. I found everything I learnt on the Teacher Trainer Course very helpful and useful. I would only single out tutors' effectiveness in getting the ideas across with minimum talk and maximum practical work, being highly professional and approachable, allowing enough space for a personal style to be developed."
