Mapping a paradigm of personal and professional development

Every five minutes the 3^rd millennium brings about a new innovation ready to surprise, challenge or at least lure us in a major existential game. Thus we, as teachers, are changed into co-participants in the huge present-day architectural construction of contemporary knowledge.

The present course Mapping a Paradigm of Personal and Professional Development is an invitation for young teachers of English and not only to take part in a challenging process of qualitative professional development, starting from the requirements of the Curriculum and varied Syllabi of English, including the what’s, why’s and how’s of the teaching, learning and evaluating process towards a highly qualitative professional activity.

Based on cognitive and meta-cognitive competences, the course is a quintuple approach to teaching-learning and evaluating English as a Second Language (ESL), tackling issues such as Motivation, Curriculum, Unit and Lesson Design, Receptive and Productive Skills, CLIL and SEL Strategies, all wrapped up in Drama Psycho-Pedagogy and Overall Evaluation.

The result of enrolling and actively participating in this course will be training an autonomous learner, capable of engendering and steering his/her own life-long itinerary, whilst the teachers themselves will become better and more qualified professionals, ready to face any challenge of the present-day world.
