Learn essential English skills...
As a teacher it is important to understand the English language at many levels. As key interpreters and facilitators of the learning of English for their students, teachers are responsible for passing on the intricate details of written and spoken language forms of English. These may vary because of cultural or historical influences, but essential aspects remain the same and are often misunderstood because of an individual’s own backgrounds or experiences. This professional development activity aims to bridge some of these gaps by addressing phonemes, phonics and spelling rules in particular and giving teachers practical strategies to improve their subject knowledge, their teaching approaches and thereby influence their students’ outcomes in English.
Add resources and strategies to influence your students
Content will address these questions:

What are phonemes and what are phonics?
What part do these attributes of English play in everyday English?
What spelling rules are there and how can we implement the use of these rules in our teaching and thereby influence our students’ English in written and spoken forms?

Practical activity and discussion will develop the pedagogical standards of each participant.
