The Oxford EMI training team travels and trains teachers in countries around the world. The course can be for teachers from your high-school or your high-school can become a partner and host a course for high-schools in your region.

Course Description

This course provides teachers with the practical teaching techniques which you can use to teach your subject successfully in English. The course is taught by our team of Oxford EMI trainers who have extensive experience working with teachers around the world.

The course content is based on current international research into EMI and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and on our practical experience working with hundreds of teachers around the world. The knowledge and feedback that teachers continue to share with us via online chats, emails and meetings has allowed us to gain valuable insights into their specific teaching contexts and challenges.

Course Participants

This course is for high-school teachers who teach in English. This includes:

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers
Subject teachers who teach through English, e.g. CLIL teachers
Teachers working at international schools
Teachers preparing students for the International Baccalaureate (IB)

The course is taught in English, so you will need to be able to understand us and participate. Your English can be “global English” and does not need to be perfect! We hope that you will gain confidence in both your English and your pedagogical skills during the course.

Course Aims

The aim is to enhance teachers’ EMI pedagogical skills for student-centred, communicative teaching.

On this course, high-school teachers will learn new skills and techniques to help their students:

Think critically
Interact in English
Participate more in class
Work in groups
Be more motivated

Course Outcomes

By the end of the course participants will be:

More confident in their ability to plan and deliver effective classes in English
Better at increasing student engagement and ensuring active participation
Better able to create and manage classroom tasks that engage students in critical thinking and language practice

Oxford EMI will collect written feedback from participants at the end of the course. We will also contact participants 6 months later to carry out a Course Impact Survey.

Course Delivery

This is a 3-day course delivered face to face, by Oxford EMI trainers. Before the start of the course, Oxford EMI will conduct a needs analysis of all participants.

Course Materials

All participants will receive a copy of the Oxford EMI Coursebook. Additional resources will be provided throughout the course. These will include links to online resources and useful course materials.
