  • Location: On-line
  • Description:
    EFL/ESL teachers!
    You are welcome to participate in my (FREE!) course on self-reliant learning / learner autonomy.

    It is a unique opportunity to get to know the learning brain and state-of-the-art views on the relationship between teaching and learning. The course has a focus on a learner's progress from mediocrity to self-reliance through improved metacognition (learning awareness) and the internalization of a highly practical learning/working framework. You will experience the difference between preaching to the lot and guiding the individual. For hands-on practice you have access to a fully furnished English language course room, and there will be ample opportunities to exchange thoughts and ideas with fellow participants.

    The course starts on October 1 and goes on through January at a comfortable pace.

    Please register at http://www.forumeducation.net/reg/self_glo_001 before the end of this month. Naturally your colleagues are welcome too. On registration you get immediate access
