The Lewis School specialises in teaching methodology, and has recently delivered a series of conferences (pictured below) in Italy, Russia, Romania, Poland, Greece and the UK. Entitled, 'A Fresh Approach: Teaching Beyond the Book', these events focused on engaging learners with a wide variety of resources, rather than only using a coursebook – a central theme on this course.

 

The course will be led by experienced tutors from our school and our Fresh

Approach team. You will also have the opportunity to observe English

classes at the school.
