International Professional Development Program For Secondary School English Language Teachers
Contemporary English language pedagogy integrated with English for English teaching proficiency.
Boosting students’ English language proficiency requires teachers who are competent in classroom English, have contemporary pedagogical knowledge and skills, and are aware of global sociolinguistic perspectives on for example, world Englishes.
Recognizing this heightening demand on working teachers, UBC Faculty of Education has developed a hybrid, internationally-minded, professional development program. It is aimed at in-service, non-native English speaking teachers of English as a foreign language at secondary schools around the world. Participants experience three-weeks’ learning at UBC campus, followed by 12 weeks of online learning after returning home.
The program is offered collaboratively through the Faculty’s Department of Language and Literacy Education (LLED) and English Language Institute (ELI). Upon completion of the program you will receive a certificate.
