Teacher Training Courses

Teacher Training Courses

Welcome to ISIS Tefl 2 We have organised teacher training courses for over ten years and our passion is for helping English language teachers from all over the world increase their knowledge and abilities. Our programmes are built on three guiding principles - Reflection, Development and Application. Teachers training with us always have the opportunity to reflect on their own practice and share that knowledge, develop their own understanding by finding out about new ideas and new ways of solving problems, and discover how to practically apply these concepts within a classroom setting. We just love providing teachers from overseas with the opportunity to visit Britain, meet native-speakers and absorb the academic, social and cultural influences which make it such a unique country. The modern teacher needs up-to-date skills to meet the needs of people learning the international language of commerce, tourism and culture that is English. We are proud to be part of that process
