As a part of continuous professional development, English language teachers of the Department of English Philology, Yessenov University have taken three stages of the advanced training course “Pedagogical University Development Project” from the US Embassy in Kazakhstan and RELO Office.
Phase I was about digital tools used in FLT Classroom. English teachers had great opportunity to learn about useful tools to use in their online classes which was actual previous years.
Phase II was the Curriculum Development stage. Participants have chosen two courses to create a curriculum: English Language A2 and Methodology of FLT. During this course, teachers developed a full curriculum for these two courses.
Phase III was Curriculum Revision Stage and additional teacher workshops with different topics related to FLT. This stage of the course lasts two months, which allows teachers not only to obtain the necessary information, but also to delve into the practical application of the acquired skills.
The course sessions are interactive and include relevant topics that will allow teachers to improve the learning process, introduce modern language teaching technologies, integrate them with related disciplines, as well as improve the use of digital technologies aimed at in-depth study of the English language by students (future teachers and translators).
