Course Introduction
Participants take an active part in the delivery of our courses and collaborate with our experienced teaching staff in the planning and delivery of a technology-enhanced, project-based language programme for our variety of students. This includes being part of our teacher briefings before the classes start. Aim: shadowing Future Learning teachers to learn how they use project-based learning for English language teaching. This involves techniques for getting students to work together in teams of 3 to 4 on a series of tasks leading to the production of a digital product, such as a video, which they present at the end.
Learner Profile
Primary and Secondary Teachers seeking to learn new techniques that they can adapt in their own classroom at home. This shadowing opportunity is available to participants who:
- Either are coming as part of a closed school group and shadow their students’ course.
- OR have full police clearance and are shadowing other Young Learner programmes.
- OR are willing to shadow our project-based teaching methodology in our adult courses.

SHADOWING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
“ After spending a week in a Stage 3 classroom at Future Learning as part of my course, I am hopeful about the future, because students like the ones I met are so young and so brave to leave everything behind to come to Ireland in order to create a better life. I feel uplifted by their courage and inspired by the things I experienced here.”

SHADOWING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
What I enjoyed most about my course was seeing how project work can be set up and how it engages students and makes them speak. The course was engaging, inspiring and fun.

" This is my 1st time in Dublin. I am really delighted leaving this experience. Attending a course in the afternoon has been really interesting because I could improve my English following an amazing English teacher.
