This course is designed to help teachers deepen their understanding of advanced grammar features, enabling you to communicate more effectively, add nuance to your writing, and boost your overall confidence.
Throughout the 16 sessions, you will explore advanced (C1/C2) grammar concepts and engage in both speaking and writing tasks. These activities will not only enhance your communicative skills but also encourage critical thinking as you analyze and apply grammatical structures in various contexts.
Join us to elevate your grammar knowledge and empower your teaching practice!
