STRUCTURE AND TIMING

Face to face

The face to face program provides you an opportunity to sit in on University of
Technological of south-east from Veracruz class to explore experiential learning in a small
class setting. This trainee handbook can be development in different structures or way to
teaching.

The training will include “train the trainer” programmes. This course also comes with a set
of a manual where it describes and explain how to do the dossier in six different areas and
it will explain the topic of the dossier as Language Awareness, Language and Culture,
Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation, Self-
Assessment and Development.

Members of the English academy will explain to the trainees what are the aims of the each
lesson, it will give an example of the description of a class, it also will explain what are the
correct procedure to do the dossier and the conclusion of the lesson. It is also important
for trainees to know all attachments or resources that they could use for develop their
classes.

All the material or resources to support are showed face to face by the English Academy
will also be made available. The ultimate objective should be to create increased the best
methodology and strategies for teaching, so that all trainees can utilise the information for
improvement of their quality of teaching, and to create scope for teaching skills
development.

All nine members of the English academy will be instructors who will teach in the face to
face format. We should not forget all benefits of face to face training which are though face
to face communication, additional information is available such as the deducting through
body language, tone, volume and modulations of voice. Sometimes technology often does
not facilitate the right type of information being shared or exchanged. This means that
learning potential can be limited. However, the trainees are not entirely passive in this
relationship or tutorial, as they give the instructor valuable information about how they are
progressing, areas in which they are doing well and those that would benefit from further
input. Face to face also delivery allows trainees to share their personal experiences,
thoughts and challenges in relation to the content. This can be a rich source of learning
and one that many trainees miss when undertaking distance education.

The timing for this program using face to face training will be twice a week, three hours per
day, counting 60 hours in total
Blended course

The benefits of face to face courses are well documented elsewhere on this handbook.
Onsite courses have the face to face contact which online courses lack, and online
courses do not include any practice teaching, and for this reason are less recommended
for absolute beginner teachers

There are many factors which may lead a trainee to go for online training, however, factors
which include convenience, cost, access, location, learning styles and preferences.

Online courses do enable you to gain a useful insight into this handbook, and where there
is a lower minimum requirement for the qualifications of teachers, these courses can serve
as a 'passport' into teaching. Online courses give a foundation which is ideal for helping to
orientate potential teachers who may be going off on a short term teaching mission, where
teaching English is not being seen as a long-term career, nor to provide a sustainable
source of income, where teaching might take place on a casual or volunteer basis.

This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to
face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.

Online course

With our busy lives, conventional employee training can become a repetitive, time-
consuming task for all involved. In-person classroom training requires that everyone
involved get together at the same time/place, and the teacher must be paid for his/her
time, even though the same material is presented again and again. Conventional training
involves print materials, travel expenses, and many other cost-producing aspects.
Flexibility: Online training works great with tight schedules. Since many people are living
busy lives, these Web-based applications can be reached from home or any other
Internet-accessible computer anytime! No more scheduled training sessions to work
around. Trainees can train at their own pace, and work around their schedules, thereby
minimizing loss of productivity.
Relevance: All content-managed courses stay up-to-date, ensuring that the most accurate,
relevant information reaches trainees.
Affordable: Companies with a large volume of high-turnover positions where continuous
training is necessary can save thousands with online training programs. They eliminate
classroom related costs and materials' expenses. Now trainers can develop the course
content, present it once and go on to the next project. Trainers only need to revisit the
course if the content needs to be modified.
Retention: Since trainees are learning at their own pace, the learning retention rate is often
higher than in a classroom setting. They can still have opportunities to email or call the
teacher to ask questions, although many online courses now offer an updatable FAQ
section where they can look first for answers to the most commonly asked questions,
which reduces repetitive questions.
Reporting: Most applications, like Osmosis, are customizable. The reporting tools are also
customized to suit the company. During the analysis phase of the project, specialists
determine what components are most important and develop easy ways to gather the
exact data needed for grading.

This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to
face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.

Weekend course

The way for this training will be only apply on weekends, it gives to teachers all the
information that they need to know but on weekends so they will be able to develope their
work and put in practices their experimental work in the week with their students.

Compact course

In this course, we use the summary of all the methodologies and strategies for teaching, it
also focus in the meaning of the main concepts and includes a lot of examples about to
how make the dossiers. Talking about compact course is spending the same hours for
having this course but the insensitive for learning and practice increase, it means that
teachers will have to spend more time practicing and doing research that reading or assist
face to face to a course. It will be more practical than theoretical.
CONTENTS

This handbook helps the teachers in training to develop their own teaching dossier. It is
really practical for trainees; it will help in order to design teacher’s teaching dossiers. This
manual contents general information such as the aims of the training, the requirements of
the trainee, the application form for trainees interested, the questioner and all the course
rules.

It also specifies all strategies, structure and timing that we are using for this training. Some
strategies are face to face, blended course, online course, weekend course, compact
course.

This trainee handbook will develop the language awareness, language and culture,
Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation and Self-
Assessment and Development in all the trainees teachers in order to guide to meet,
understand and design six dossiers for different areas, for any topic and level they choose
to work on.

The six main areas of the training are:

1. Language awareness, where trainees will improve their pronunciation training, learning
   vocabulary, listening comprehension, understanding different accents, learning spoken
   and written languages. Trainees will be able to describe the language I am teaching and
   use the appropriate terminology, to understand the principles of language learning and
   teaching, to select the appropriate teaching points from teaching materials to suit
   different levels, to provide my students with clear and effective explanations in a way
   that is helpful to them, to select and apply the appropriate methodological tools to
   highlight differences in language systems, to use reference materials (i.e. grammar
   books) effectively to provide my students with clear answers with regards to language-
   related questions at the end of the course.
2. Language and culture, the purpose in this area is awareness of socio-cultural and
   intercultural aspects of language use and language learning, dealing sensitively with
   difficult classroom situations relating to intercultural differences, understanding different
backgrounds (therefore different study methods) of students, cross-cultural
   communication and applicacion of this knowledge to the teaching situation. Trainees
   will be able to take into account and incorporate into my teaching the educational
   experiences my students have had previously, to provide for individual learner styles
   and strategies in my teaching, to design my lessons with my students' needs and
   interests in mind in order to make it interesting, lively and motivating, to give my
   students feedback on their language competence in a way that is appropriate and
   helpful (i.e. error correction) taking into account the stage of language development they
   are at, to encourage and motivate my students to improve at the end of the course.
3. Language learning processes, in this area the trainees will be able to take into account
   and incorporate into my teaching the educational experiences my students have had
   previously, to provide for individual learner styles and strategies in my teaching, to
   design my lessons with my students' needs and interests in mind in order to make it
   interesting, lively and motivating, to give my students feedback on their language
   competence in a way that is appropriate and helpful (i.e. error correction) taking into
   account the stage of language development they are as well as the stage aim we are
   trying to achieve in a particular stage of a lesson, to encourage and motivate my
   students to improve, being aware of different types of motivation and capable to relate
   those to my students at the end of the course.
4. Language teaching, trainees will be able to define the aims of my lesson and
   understand how to achieve them by the end of the lesson as well as make my students
   aware of what my aims are, to be confident in selecting, adapting and designing
   materials to suits those aims, to use a variety of exercise types, to use various media
   forms appropriately (Moodle, whiteboard, Smartboard...), to evaluate learning tasks and
   activities, to incorporate learning tasks and activities which encourage and facilitate
   learner autonomy and take into account learners' learning styles and cultural
   expectations, to give clear instructions and make sure they are understood, to manage
   a class effectively in a wide variety of contexts taking into consideration the learners'
   needs and levels of language competence as well as mixed abilities and clarify the
   meaning of new vocabulary through the use of different means and I am able to check
   that the students have understood at the end of the course.
5. Planning and evaluation, in this area trainees will be able to state the general aims of a
   course with reference to the CEFR (European Framework), to define the aims of my
   lesson so that they fit within the context of the whole course, to plan lessons and
   teaching programmes and include appropriate tasks to suit the learning outcomes, to
   use various ways of conducting a course evaluation, to do a needs analysis and assess
   my students' language competence according to the CEFR, to inform my students on
   language examinations available to them and advice them on the appropriate options
   for them, to help my students to plan further learning to suit their needs and use a
   variety of inductive and deductive approaches to present a grammar structure and
   select an effective approach taking into account the grammar point in question and the
   group I'm teaching at the end of the course. At the last area but not the least
6. Self-assessment and development, in this area trainees wil be able to reflect and draw
   conclusions from observations and self-observation in order to gain a better
   understanding of the teaching situation and validate, bring changes to and improve my
   own teaching, to receive and make use of feedback on my teaching performance, to
   give constructive feedback to colleagues , to incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas
   with colleagues to promote best practice, to access the relevant support systems that
   will enable me to develop further and find solutions to my teaching problems and to put
   forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development at the end of the
   course.

Evaluation Procedure and Assessment criteria

The evaluation criteria for the trainee are going to be according to the way which
evaluation is held in the institution. The evaluations’ university is divided in two parts, 70%
practice and 30% theoretical knowledge. Based on this, the observation must be
considered by following the practical part. It is important that the trainee provides practical
activities, more than grammar explanation. Also, the institution is focused on
communicative approach; for this reason, the interaction must be by speaking practices.

The evaluation criteria would be obtained by taking into account the next activities:
Class preparation, class development, and class ending. The first part must contain the
way which the trainee is getting ready for the class, including material, resources, and how
there is an anticipation to possible problems.
During the class development, it is considered the interaction between the trainee and the
students. It is necessary to catch student’s attention by providing interesting information for
them. One of the most important points to consider in this part is clarifying doubts and
questions properly, as well as providing clear explanations about grammar structures and
communication patterns.
Finally, the class ending must cover a feedback about the topic. It is important that during
this section of the class, students clarify all the doubts. It is needed a general review of the
session as well.

In order to achieve a satisfactory evaluation of 70% of practice, and 30% theoretical
knowledge, the teacher has to achieve those three sections in every session. For that
reason, the trainee has to comprehend and put into practice all those requirements. The
evaluation will be divided in the next form:

Class preparation.- 30%
Class development.- 45%
Class ending.- 25%

  • 10. STRUCTURE AND TIMING Face to face The face to face program provides you an opportunity to sit in on University of Technological of south-east from Veracruz class to explore experiential learning in a small class setting. This trainee handbook can be development in different structures or way to teaching. The training will include “train the trainer” programmes. This course also comes with a set of a manual where it describes and explain how to do the dossier in six different areas and it will explain the topic of the dossier as Language Awareness, Language and Culture, Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation, Self- Assessment and Development. Members of the English academy will explain to the trainees what are the aims of the each lesson, it will give an example of the description of a class, it also will explain what are the correct procedure to do the dossier and the conclusion of the lesson. It is also important for trainees to know all attachments or resources that they could use for develop their classes. All the material or resources to support are showed face to face by the English Academy will also be made available. The ultimate objective should be to create increased the best methodology and strategies for teaching, so that all trainees can utilise the information for improvement of their quality of teaching, and to create scope for teaching skills development. All nine members of the English academy will be instructors who will teach in the face to face format. We should not forget all benefits of face to face training which are though face to face communication, additional information is available such as the deducting through body language, tone, volume and modulations of voice. Sometimes technology often does not facilitate the right type of information being shared or exchanged. This means that learning potential can be limited. However, the trainees are not entirely passive in this relationship or tutorial, as they give the instructor valuable information about how they are progressing, areas in which they are doing well and those that would benefit from further input. Face to face also delivery allows trainees to share their personal experiences, thoughts and challenges in relation to the content. This can be a rich source of learning and one that many trainees miss when undertaking distance education. The timing for this program using face to face training will be twice a week, three hours per day, counting 60 hours in total
  • 11. Blended course The benefits of face to face courses are well documented elsewhere on this handbook. Onsite courses have the face to face contact which online courses lack, and online courses do not include any practice teaching, and for this reason are less recommended for absolute beginner teachers There are many factors which may lead a trainee to go for online training, however, factors which include convenience, cost, access, location, learning styles and preferences. Online courses do enable you to gain a useful insight into this handbook, and where there is a lower minimum requirement for the qualifications of teachers, these courses can serve as a 'passport' into teaching. Online courses give a foundation which is ideal for helping to orientate potential teachers who may be going off on a short term teaching mission, where teaching English is not being seen as a long-term career, nor to provide a sustainable source of income, where teaching might take place on a casual or volunteer basis. This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total. Online course With our busy lives, conventional employee training can become a repetitive, time- consuming task for all involved. In-person classroom training requires that everyone involved get together at the same time/place, and the teacher must be paid for his/her time, even though the same material is presented again and again. Conventional training involves print materials, travel expenses, and many other cost-producing aspects. Flexibility: Online training works great with tight schedules. Since many people are living busy lives, these Web-based applications can be reached from home or any other Internet-accessible computer anytime! No more scheduled training sessions to work around. Trainees can train at their own pace, and work around their schedules, thereby minimizing loss of productivity. Relevance: All content-managed courses stay up-to-date, ensuring that the most accurate, relevant information reaches trainees. Affordable: Companies with a large volume of high-turnover positions where continuous training is necessary can save thousands with online training programs. They eliminate classroom related costs and materials' expenses. Now trainers can develop the course content, present it once and go on to the next project. Trainers only need to revisit the course if the content needs to be modified. Retention: Since trainees are learning at their own pace, the learning retention rate is often higher than in a classroom setting. They can still have opportunities to email or call the
  • 12. teacher to ask questions, although many online courses now offer an updatable FAQ section where they can look first for answers to the most commonly asked questions, which reduces repetitive questions. Reporting: Most applications, like Osmosis, are customizable. The reporting tools are also customized to suit the company. During the analysis phase of the project, specialists determine what components are most important and develop easy ways to gather the exact data needed for grading. This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total. Weekend course The way for this training will be only apply on weekends, it gives to teachers all the information that they need to know but on weekends so they will be able to develope their work and put in practices their experimental work in the week with their students. Compact course In this course, we use the summary of all the methodologies and strategies for teaching, it also focus in the meaning of the main concepts and includes a lot of examples about to how make the dossiers. Talking about compact course is spending the same hours for having this course but the insensitive for learning and practice increase, it means that teachers will have to spend more time practicing and doing research that reading or assist face to face to a course. It will be more practical than theoretical.
  • 13. CONTENTS This handbook helps the teachers in training to develop their own teaching dossier. It is really practical for trainees; it will help in order to design teacher’s teaching dossiers. This manual contents general information such as the aims of the training, the requirements of the trainee, the application form for trainees interested, the questioner and all the course rules. It also specifies all strategies, structure and timing that we are using for this training. Some strategies are face to face, blended course, online course, weekend course, compact course. This trainee handbook will develop the language awareness, language and culture, Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation and Self- Assessment and Development in all the trainees teachers in order to guide to meet, understand and design six dossiers for different areas, for any topic and level they choose to work on. The six main areas of the training are: 1. Language awareness, where trainees will improve their pronunciation training, learning vocabulary, listening comprehension, understanding different accents, learning spoken and written languages. Trainees will be able to describe the language I am teaching and use the appropriate terminology, to understand the principles of language learning and teaching, to select the appropriate teaching points from teaching materials to suit different levels, to provide my students with clear and effective explanations in a way that is helpful to them, to select and apply the appropriate methodological tools to highlight differences in language systems, to use reference materials (i.e. grammar books) effectively to provide my students with clear answers with regards to language- related questions at the end of the course. 2. Language and culture, the purpose in this area is awareness of socio-cultural and intercultural aspects of language use and language learning, dealing sensitively with difficult classroom situations relating to intercultural differences, understanding different
  • 14. backgrounds (therefore different study methods) of students, cross-cultural communication and applicacion of this knowledge to the teaching situation. Trainees will be able to take into account and incorporate into my teaching the educational experiences my students have had previously, to provide for individual learner styles and strategies in my teaching, to design my lessons with my students' needs and interests in mind in order to make it interesting, lively and motivating, to give my students feedback on their language competence in a way that is appropriate and helpful (i.e. error correction) taking into account the stage of language development they are at, to encourage and motivate my students to improve at the end of the course. 3. Language learning processes, in this area the trainees will be able to take into account and incorporate into my teaching the educational experiences my students have had previously, to provide for individual learner styles and strategies in my teaching, to design my lessons with my students' needs and interests in mind in order to make it interesting, lively and motivating, to give my students feedback on their language competence in a way that is appropriate and helpful (i.e. error correction) taking into account the stage of language development they are as well as the stage aim we are trying to achieve in a particular stage of a lesson, to encourage and motivate my students to improve, being aware of different types of motivation and capable to relate those to my students at the end of the course. 4. Language teaching, trainees will be able to define the aims of my lesson and understand how to achieve them by the end of the lesson as well as make my students aware of what my aims are, to be confident in selecting, adapting and designing materials to suits those aims, to use a variety of exercise types, to use various media forms appropriately (Moodle, whiteboard, Smartboard...), to evaluate learning tasks and activities, to incorporate learning tasks and activities which encourage and facilitate learner autonomy and take into account learners' learning styles and cultural expectations, to give clear instructions and make sure they are understood, to manage a class effectively in a wide variety of contexts taking into consideration the learners' needs and levels of language competence as well as mixed abilities and clarify the meaning of new vocabulary through the use of different means and I am able to check that the students have understood at the end of the course. 5. Planning and evaluation, in this area trainees will be able to state the general aims of a course with reference to the CEFR (European Framework), to define the aims of my lesson so that they fit within the context of the whole course, to plan lessons and teaching programmes and include appropriate tasks to suit the learning outcomes, to use various ways of conducting a course evaluation, to do a needs analysis and assess my students' language competence according to the CEFR, to inform my students on language examinations available to them and advice them on the appropriate options for them, to help my students to plan further learning to suit their needs and use a variety of inductive and deductive approaches to present a grammar structure and select an effective approach taking into account the grammar point in question and the group I'm teaching at the end of the course. At the last area but not the least
  • 15. 6. Self-assessment and development, in this area trainees wil be able to reflect and draw conclusions from observations and self-observation in order to gain a better understanding of the teaching situation and validate, bring changes to and improve my own teaching, to receive and make use of feedback on my teaching performance, to give constructive feedback to colleagues , to incorporate the systematic sharing of ideas with colleagues to promote best practice, to access the relevant support systems that will enable me to develop further and find solutions to my teaching problems and to put forward ideas on how to ensure continuous professional development at the end of the course.

The evaluations’ university is divided in two parts, 70% practice and 30% theoretical knowledge. Based on this, the observation must be considered by following the practical part. It is important that the trainee provides practical activities, more than grammar explanation. Also, the institution is focused on communicative approach; for this reason, the interaction must be by speaking practices. The evaluation criteria would be obtained by taking into account the next activities: Class preparation, class development, and class ending. The first part must contain the way which the trainee is getting ready for the class, including material, resources, and how there is an anticipation to possible problems. During the class development, it is considered the interaction between the trainee and the students. It is necessary to catch student’s attention by providing interesting information for them. One of the most important points to consider in this part is clarifying doubts and
  • 28. questions properly, as well as providing clear explanations about grammar structures and communication patterns. Finally, the class ending must cover a feedback about the topic. It is important that during this section of the class, students clarify all the doubts. It is needed a general review of the session as well. In order to achieve a satisfactory evaluation of 70% of practice, and 30% theoretical knowledge, the teacher has to achieve those three sections in every session. For that reason, the trainee has to comprehend and put into practice all those requirements. The evaluation will be divided in the next form: Class preparation.- 30% Class development.- 45% Class ending.- 25% Trainer Evaluation checklist Name of trainer _____________________ Date ______________________________ Class observed ______________________ Mark with an X in the appropriate space: 1: Excellent, 2: Good, 3: acceptable 4: Could improve, 5: Not observed Trainer Evaluation Point to cover Result Observation/ 1 2 3 4 5 Comment 1.
