"Teachers tend to teach the way they were taught unless they make a conscious effort to do otherwise". (Johnson, Louann.2015.Teaching Outside the Box. p.139)In this course we are analyzing our comfort zones in ELT in order to take some steps further by getting to know and trying out new ideas, methods and materials for all 4 skills in order to meet the learners’ needs, enhance their learning process and motivation. The participants will acquire an insight into teaching in- and outside the box in different areas that are adaptable to a variety of learners and teaching situations.
