Presented By Briony Beaven

Session Details

Short, initial training courses such as CELTA have been criticised for not getting trainees to engage with theory and test it against their educational beliefs in the light of practice. A mini-key readings scheme was introduced on our CELTA course in an attempt to deal withthis shortcoming. I will report on the innovation and its potential for trainee learning.
