The Insights into the UK Primary Classroom module is designed for Primary teacher trainees in order to give them a deeper understanding of how the English education system works and compare it to the education system in their country. Trainees will have the opportunity to observe the kind of teaching that might happen in a UK classroom and discuss areas of best practice. A methodology component allows them to explore some creative and interactive activities which can be used not only in their English lessons but across the curriculum. Finally, trainees will explore aspects of British identity and culture and reflect on how these fit their experience and understanding of what it means to be a UK resident. Contact us

The module provides an opportunity for comparison of two national education systems, as well as strengthening the trainees’ cultural understanding and professional English language skills. Further InformationNILE Online courses are highly interactive and learning takes place through varied and engaging multimedia content and the collaboration between participants from different contexts. All participants work on the same unit in the same week but there is a high level of flexibility within that time period to help you fit studying around your life and work. The interaction, via forums and other collaborative tools built into the platform, helps and encourages you to share ideas, ask questions, explore concepts and build up a community. You need a computer, a headset (with microphone) and an Internet connection. Much of the course can be done on a mobile device, but a computer is needed for certain activities and tasks. Participants have access to NILE's extensive ELT e-library and an innovative social and cultural programme. All NILE Online courses include an element of professional language development, i.e. language related to course content and/or the classroom. Course Leader
