Teaching English to Non-Native Speakers Training at the Introductory Level is designed for educators who are new to teaching English to learners whose first language is not English. This foundational programme provides participants with a solid grounding in the principles of English language teaching, key methodologies, and practical classroom strategies for supporting non-native English speaking students.
Teaching English to non-native speakers requires a distinct set of skills and approaches that differ from teaching in monolingual English-speaking contexts.
