Overview
The ELT Toolkit is not one programme. It is ten short, standalone workshops, each teaching one essential skill. Each workshop is a single session, and the workshops are held separately, not one after another. Some are online and some are in person, and we confirm the format of each when we announce it.
Join the workshops you need, or book the whole set at a discount. The Toolkit is designed for English graduates and students with no teaching experience: you get practical techniques and the confidence to start teaching from day one.
What you will be able to do
- Master one essential teaching skill per workshop, from lesson planning to classroom management
- Plan and deliver clear, structured English lessons with confidence
- Teach grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, listening, reading and writing in engaging, student-centred ways
- Handle assessment, feedback, error correction and instructions effectively
- Adapt your teaching to different learners and exam classes such as IELTS
The ten workshops
2. Classroom Management
Routines, attention-getting techniques, handling disruption, and setting expectations on day one.
Often the biggest worry for new teachers.
3. Teaching Grammar Without Lecturing
Moving from knowing grammar to explaining it simply: concept-checking questions, examples, and inductive and deductive approaches.
4. Teaching Vocabulary and Pronunciation
Presenting new words, helping them stick, and handling common pronunciation problems.
5. Teaching Speaking and Listening
Designing activities that get students talking, and scaffolding listening tasks so they are not just tests.
6. Teaching Reading and Writing
Pre-, while- and post-reading stages, building writing from sentence to paragraph, and giving useful written feedback.
7. Assessment and Feedback
Formative and summative assessment, writing simple tests and rubrics, and giving feedback that actually improves learning.
8. Error Correction and Giving Instructions
Deciding when and how to correct, and how to give clear instructions. Many first lessons fall apart on unclear instructions.
9. Teaching Different Learners
Young learners, teens, adults, mixed-level classes, and shy or unmotivated students.
10. Teaching Exam Classes (IELTS and similar)
Understanding exam formats, teaching test strategies, and marking writing and speaking against band descriptors.
