International House World Organisation Certificate in Teaching 1-2-1

The International House Certificate in 1-2-1 Methodology is designed to give participants a solid grasp of the main issues and solid basis in the techniques involved in teaching 1-2-1. It is aimed at teachers with a CELTA or IHCTL who are preferably current practising teachers who have 1-2-1 students.

As the course increases in complexity fairly rapidly, it is not recommended in its entirety as a full-time course for teachers with little or no 1-2-1 experience (see modes of delivery options below). Newly qualified teachers might find the BET 1 course (Business English Teaching, level 1) a good lead-in before moving on to the 1-2-1 Course.

Organisation

The course consists of 30 hours of input over 10 modules and (at least) 20 hours of homework / portfolio tasks (reading, observation or action research), plus a post-course assignment.

A) Content

- Ten modules, each with a principal focus, three individual sessions, a TP assignment, a Chat Group topic and recommended reading.

- 30 hours “contact” or session time

- 6 hours (at least) reading and research.

B) Teaching Practice

- 6-10 hours of TP (Teaching Practice) (either unobserved, peer observed or self-observed). If candidates take the course intensively without access to their own students for practice TP lthis will have to take place as soon as possible after the course. The TP will need DoS / local tutor supervision, before the final assessment phase.

C) Assessment

- A Portfolio compiled during the course.

- A final assignment which includes 1 hour of observed and assessed TP, a written Needs Analysis and Student Profile, and a Course Plan with commentary.
