Course Introduction
Primary and Secondary Teacher Training in Technology-enhanced, Project-based Learning
This course is a fully accredited Trinity College London Level 6 qualification that supports the professional development of English language teachers. It draws upon qualified TESOL teachers’ existing knowledge to explore what it takes to put project- based learning into practice and gain an understanding of the concepts behind it. It promotes the skills and techniques needed to develop and use technology effectively as a resource in teaching and learning. The course is based on the same approach which Future Learning has pioneered across courses and the training is informed by our experience of making it work in practice.

This course was more than an introduction and practical approach to technological PBL with foreign language students. It was interesting and challenging at times but extremely useful.
