In order to do this, it plans to orient experienced teachers through an intensive workshop to enable them to teach on the 3-month certificate course. These teacher trainers will form part of the ‘Extended Faculty’ of AUD and will receive remuneration as per AUD norms for teaching on the Certificate course.

Applications are invited from experienced English teachers for the 7-day Capacity Building Workshop for Teacher Trainers. Details are as follows:

Venue: Ambedkar University Delhi
Dates: 28 June-5 July 2017 (holiday on Sunday 2 July), 9 am to 5 pm

This week long, 56 hours credit-based capacity building programme will cover three modules: an introductory module on language learning theories and teacher education; a module on materials development, language pedagogy and assessment; and a module that will deal with issues around Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

 It will provide hands-on experience of how teachers can be trained in learner-centred ESL pedagogy who will in turn teach ESL learners using a blended learning model. An important dimension will be to help participants to experience learner-centred pedagogies appropriate to the trainer-training context and to in turn enable them to adapt those pedagogies to the training context.
