IH Madrid Young Learners Course

The course is ideal for newly qualified teachers and those with little experience in teaching children. There is a good balance of teaching practice and methodology and provides teachers with the skills to teach children aged 3-16. Two different topics are covered in each session and participants are actively involved to try out the activities.

Each day there will be two core sessions that cover different aspects of planning and teaching young learners. Teachers will be actively involved in the sessions and try out many of the activities with follow-on discussion.
