10 basic skills that a good teacher needs
Excellent English pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar skills
You need to keep on improving your own language skills. All our English teacher training courses include intensive lessons in pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
Confidence and skills to give motivating and interesting lessons to your students
You have to put on a show to get your students focusing on your lesson and keep their interest.Courses will give you the skills to keep your students learning, and the confidence to use them.
Develop your own teaching materials
English from course textbooks right now, but you’ll want to find ways of developing material to use in class which will engage and challenge your students at some point.
Assessment
Good English teachers are great at assessing the progress, strengths and weaknesses of their students.
Reflecting on your own practice and micro teaching
You can do this by reflecting on your own lessons and practice, and also by micro teaching, which we do to help everyone on a teacher training course here at the Galway Cultural Institute.
Use technology in the classroom
Interactive screens, websites and apps are part of a teacher’s job.
Mastery of your subject
We can help you learn some practical tasks and activities to use in the classroom, and vocabulary that you can use in any lesson, and also how to source and adapt material to use in CLIL sessions
Keep up to date with the latest methods and theories for English teachers
Pedagogy - the art of teaching - changes all the time, as research tells us how students learn best.
Gain new practical skills
Set yourself apart from other English teachers by having a useful specialism that could be in demand where you’d like to work.
Get equipped to teach at the right level
Lecturing and running seminars and tutorials at university is very different to teaching young children, and requires a whole different set of skills.
Use Kahoot, wordwall, padlet, quizlet
