2 The Teaching Methodologies Course is designed for in-service teachers to gain insights and explore in-depth knowledge about the different ways they can teach languages. The course has a wide range of topics from communicative methodologies, emergent language teaching, holistic approaches, teaching techniques, tips and tools to add to the course participants’ teaching toolbox. One unique feature on this course is the teaching practice element, which allows the participants to practice what they learn on the course by implementing it into real face to face classes of language learners. There are also two points on the course where participants get a chance to observe lessons from experienced and dynamic teachers at SPRACHCAFFE in order to gain inspiration and focus on certain teaching approaches and techniques as they do this. Feedback will be provided by the trainer throughout the course.
