British Council holds English teacher training workshops

The British Council in Sana’a is to host a visiting British speaker and author Peter Lucantoni, a highly regarded international ELT specialist. He will assist in training teachers in a Teaching Monolingual Classes program at the University of Science and Technology. The speech will take place in the Girls’ Section of the Great Hall the morning of Wednesday November 12th at the University Of Sana’a Faculty Of Education.

Peter Lucantoni is the author and co-author of several popular textbooks for students, including IGCSE English as a Second Language and Our English (both Cambridge University Press), KET Practice Tests Plus (Longman) and International English (Hodder Murray). He has also written a book of practical classroom ideas for teachers and teacher trainers. 

This is an excellent opportunity to focus on key issues related to the relevance of a student’s first language and its usefulness in learning English, while at the same time exploring ways to increase the amount of English spoken in class. These events are open to any interested academics, English language teaching professionals and university English students. The workshops will be delivered in English.

The first day of the workshop is Tuesday November 11th from 2.30pm-4.30pm at the Great Hall (ground floor) of the Girls’ College, University of Science and Technology, Sana’a, and the second is Wednesday November 12th from 10am-12.00am at the Faculty of Education, University of Sana’a.

This visit forms part of the British Council’s initiative to support English teachers through their informal Network of English Language Teaching Professionals (NELTP).
