You can also attend Club seminars.

The Methodology and Professional Development Course syllabus includes teaching methods and approaches, continuing professional development (CPD), classroom management, teaching phonetics and phonology, teaching reading, teaching cultural awareness in ELT, teaching with IT, project work and teaching English through British life and culture.
Examples of syllabus content include teaching segmental and suprasegmental features of English pronunciation, English as an international language, strategies to develop formal and informal writing skills, implementing the lexical approach, adapting to different learning styles and needs, promoting learning outside the classroom and teaching with internet and intranet.
All course participants receive a pre-course bibliography which they can refer to prior to the start of their course (although the reading of these texts is not a requirement to complete the course).
Participants who are already practising teachers are also invited to complete a brief selection of self-observation sheets to encourage them to analyse their own classroom performance in their own teaching situation, prior to the start of their course.
These self-observation sheets are submitted to the Course Director at the start of the course, helping him or her to gain more insight into the teachers’ backgrounds and to better anticipate the teachers’ needs during the course.
On completion of your course, you will receive a certificate, with details of the course dates, the number of course hours, and details of topics covered.
In addition you will receive a detailed and personalised report from the Course Director, with suggestions for further professional development.
