I. GENERAL INFORMATION

1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the BRITANICO ELT COURSE!

You are about to start an amazing journey in which you will learn the tools to be the best
teacher you can be.

In this course you will be introduced to the field of English Language Teaching and its
main objective is to provide you with an insight to the teaching-learning process and
current methodology.

As an ELT tutee, you need to work hard, during the lessons and on your own time. You will
need to comply with the course requirements (homework/deadlines, etc). It is important
for you to realise that this course requires a lot more than attending classes or reading the
book. You must be an active participant, do extra reading and bring ideas to share and
discuss in class. Therefore, it is very important to come well-prepared to the sessions.

2. MATERIAL

2.1 BOOK: ESSENTIAL TEACHER KNOWLEDGE (BY JEREMY HARMER)

Essential Teacher Knowledge, by Jeremy Harmer, is the


main book we will use in our course.
It consists of 110 units (2 pages per unit). However, we will
not follow the order of the units in the course as it is
organised in topic modules (see details in the second
part of this document).

III. ABOUT ZOOM

1. USING ZOOM
Zoom is the platform that is used in the ELT course. This means that ELT tutees need to
learn how to use it in order to deliver lessons. This will be very important for the Practical
Component.

2. TUTORIALS

IV. EVALUATION

1. INTRODUCTION
Find below the aspects that are evaluated in the ELT course:

Participation & Language: Refers to the amount of participation in class and how
language is used to express opinions.
Microteaching / Teaching Practice: ELT tutees perform as teachers in front of their
classmates, who pretend to be English students. In the last two cycles, Teaching
Practice with real students (basic or pre-intermediate level) are organised.
Writing Task: From ELT 1 to ELT 4, ELT tutees produce a piece of writing in which they
reflect on a teaching topic.
Assignment: ELT tutees produce a piece of academic work in which they analyse a
methodology topic studied in class.
Final Test: At the end of each cycle, ELT tutees take a test in which they answer
questions about the topics seen in class.

V. REGULATIONS

1. RESPONSIBILITIES

As an ELT tutee, you need to work hard, during the virtual lessons and on your own
time.
You will need to comply with the course requirements (homework/deadlines, etc).
It is important for you to realise that this course requires a lot more than attending
classes or reading the book.
You must be an active participant, do extra reading and bring ideas to share and
discuss in class. Therefore, it is very important to come well-prepared to the sessions.
Tutees are expected to stay in the same schedule with the same tutor for the five
cycles.

2. ATTENDANCE AND CERTIFICATION

Students must comply with the minimum number of hours of attendance (13 hours).
Otherwise, they will be considered FDA (Fail due to Absences) and cannot register for
the following cycle.
Certificates will be issued at the end of the course (ELT 6) to participants gaining an
overall passing grade (A, B, C) according to our marking criteria and who have
complied with the minimum number of hours of attendance.
Students who get grade “D” (Below Average- less than 70) in two cycles will not be
allowed to register for the next cycle.
Students do not receive a certificate if
- they get less than 70 in the global result (ELT 1-ELT 6 average).
- they get FDA in one cycle.
- they fail ELT 6.
The certificate will available to be downloaded from the INTRANET following this route:
MIS CLASES > CONSTANCIAS Y CERTIFICADOS. The certificate will be available for 365
days.
Information regarding the student’s performance will be recorded in the certificate.

3. TEACHING PRACTICE SESSIONS WITH REAL STUDENTS

Teaching Practice sessions with real students are programmed in ELT 5 and ELT 6.
These sessions are organised in a different schedule. Your tutor will give you the date
and the schedule at the beginning of the corresponding cycles.
Be aware of the fact that attendance to these sessions is compulsory, so you might
need to make special arrangements with other responsibilities.
