Teachers’ turn to learn English
ENGLISH is indisputably the universal language as it dominates all facets of life from commerce to media, education, research, diplomacy and politics. The importance of the English language has created an increased demand for qualified English teachers.
Those who want to enhance their teaching qualifications or are planning to pursue a career in teaching can check out the complete teacher training programmes offered by London Teacher Training College (LTTC) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) via the Brickfields Education Group.
Diplomas offered
• Diploma in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) awarded by London Teacher Training College (LTTC)
• Cambridge International Diploma for Teachers and Trainers (CIDTT) awarded by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE)
The Diploma in TESOL is a specialised field of study where the focus is on theoretical and practical issues in teaching English as a second or foreign language. It is structured towards those who intend to teach English to non-native speakers as well as teachers who intend to further their career.
The Diploma in TESOL is a recognised certification that allows one entry into an industry that employs hundreds of thousands of teachers in almost every country in the world.
Equipping oneself with this qualification will allow one to work in a variety of second language teaching institutions.
In addition, a Teaching Practice component is incorporated into the Diploma programme and students will receive a separate Teaching Practice Certificate as proof of hands-on classroom experience.
The Cambridge International Diploma for Teachers and Trainers (CIDTT) provides an ideal framework for anyone in a teaching or training role seeking to update their teaching skills and knowledge.
The course is content neutral as it focuses on methodology and is relevant to all teachers and trainers.
Another diploma offered by the Brickfields Education Group is the Professional Diploma in Public Relations (DPR) which is an integrated approach to public relations.
It is primarily targeted at people who wish to enter public relations as a part of their career progression.
The course is also suitable for those who are currently in the early stages of a communications-related role but have not had any formal training in public relations.
The London School of Public Relations (LSPR) is accredited by the International Association of Professional PR Trainers (IAPPRT). Since becoming a leading PR educational provider in Britain, LSPR is now the world’s largest independent education training provider in public relations.
The TESOL, CIDTT and DPR courses each runs for four months. Classes are held on the weekends and bursaries are available for candidates who register for at least two Diploma courses.
