Free Teacher Training Workshops this March 2024 in Barcelona

We are excited to announce that we will be providing yet more free teacher training workshops at Oxford TEFL in Barcelona: the 1st, the 8th and the 15th of March.

Year on year, we welcome TEFL teachers based in Barcelona or the surrounding areas to our modern school in the centre of the city. Here, we deliver practical, interactive and enjoyable workshops that any teacher can take ideas from and apply immediately to their own lessons.

Any English as a foreign teacher can join. Whether you are an experienced or a novice teacher, this is your chance to learn from some of our expert trainers completely free of charge.

We even throw in free coffee and snacks to keep those energy levels high between sessions! Enjoy our sunny garden in the break and network with other TEFL teachers.

12.15 – 13.00 The Art of Giving Good Instructions

Perhaps more than most professions, English language teachers should be really, really good at giving clear, comprehensible instructions. And, most of the time, this is true! In this practical workshop for language teachers of all languages we’ll review and reexamine best practices for giving instructions for activities, both spoken and written and online. But we’ll also look at how this is a useful and important skill for our learners and practical ways we can help them develop it. ⤵️Download the presentation
