Communicative Language Teaching: A practical module for teachers

This is a self-guided module. Each segment includes an explanation that lasts 5-10 minutes, then you should work independently on understanding the material and planning your own course, using the multilingual, multimedia materials available at padlet.com/ankeB/CLT About Me: I train language teachers in multiple countries and languages on the use of student-centered, interactive methods to make their language teaching more effective. I personally teach and develop curriculum for English as a New Language, French, Arabic, Western Armenian, and Dakhota, and I am particularly focused on the revitalization of endangered languages. I am happy to coach teachers of any language, or work with any type of school to improve their language program. I train and coach teachers in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, and Western Armenian, but very open to producing translations of these materials into other languages. I chair the language teaching MA program at an online university and offer a yearly intensive course in methods through INALCO in Paris. Take language teaching courses with me online!
