Jonathan Kowal bringing language to your door A New Response to  Language Learner & Teacher Training Needs
    Before we present our service it is important to recognise that without Eckersley Oxford’s experience, expertise and resources, the flying squad service would not be as effective as it is.   Our school has been here in Oxford since John Eckersley founded it more than 50 years ago, so we know something about language learning and teaching by now, although of course we are always learning!  Our long tradition combines a 21st century approach and fantastic facilities including interactive whiteboards, a state-of-the-art digital language laboratory and computer room and of course wireless internet access from just about anywhere in the building. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],‘ s

Flying Squad Service
Who needs us? Essentially any group of people requiring a course directly responsive to their language needs The  main areas we know FS to be effective are:   Businesses HE Providers:  Universities/ Training Centres & Colleges Schools 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Businesses ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Time-efficient course Supports company image and culture No conflict with daily duties a) Industry specific English teacher   e.g. Legal English specialist for your law firm b) Dual-Profession teacher:   teacher with experience working within your industry c) Experience teaching the nationality of your  employees :  understanding your language barriers 1
HE Providers ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],These are realistic scenarios and projects that we’re designing on demand right now. However… 2
HE Providers ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],  Habib: This course is important for me because    I am very busy. I can never go to England, but    native language English teachers came to Rize    and I practised with them. Aylin:   This course was very helpful to my English speaking skills. I learned English  grammar before this but I couldn't speak or  understand English sounds. Now I can.  Confidence is a very important factor to speak  and understand. This course supported us.   Aynur: On this course my English has  developed: it was useful for me. I  especially liked the discussions we had  in class because you learn to express  your ideas in English. Ibrahim: Rich educational methods. Good environment. The teacher  had energy, determination, perception, & was genuine.   2
Schools School courses/ projects - Exam courses in preparation for school English exams. - Project based courses working towards a school performance    - Highly interactive lessons: games, music, varied tasks – to motivate students language  learning and build their confidence in language production - For more specific purposes i.e. culture exchange/  history project - Immersion courses: let us teach some of the modules  built into your school syllabus i.e. Julius Caesar in  English Literature e.g.  currently working with one client to build a week’s intensive course, which concludes with them performing their  English project in their school theatre to parents and school students. Amongst other things, the project helps promote  the school in their local area and it helps towards their internal school culture. 3 e.g.  1 week summer Football English course: a language course focusing on  football. Both classroom sessions and outdoor coaching sessions on the pitch.
Schools Silvia: Last winter’s success / Feb – April ’10 (2011 project started last week!) Client:  4 neighbouring schools in Basilicata, southern Italy Students:  School pupils (11 – 17 yrs old):  Course objectives: 1) Exam preparation classes & interactive lessons for others: 2) To instil confidence in students’ production of English, “ mistakes don’t matter!” 3) To further motivate students enthusiasm for English  language learning Martina: It was great to have English  teachers here in our small  village. The lessons are  challenging and we ’ re learning  a lot, but not in a boring way . Learned lots of new language.  We really enjoyed speaking  English which happened  (almost) always throughout  the course. So much  opportunity to practise. Antonio: The mobile phone  exercise was my  favourite as it is  difficult to talk  without seeing lip  movement and  gestures. 3
Schools ,[object Object],[object Object],PHASE  1 An online programme asking teachers  to reflect and respond, not just on their  problem areas as teachers, but  importantly their strengths. PHASE  2 A direct response online from us, offering  relevant theories, advice, publications,  questions for consideration, etc, as food  for thought and reflection before moving  on to Phase 3. PHASE  3 Our specialist teachers visit teachers'  schools, take part in the lessons and  get to know the students while running  some interactive and engaging activities,  acting as a professional model. PHASE  4 After reflection on those lessons, mentor  and teacher negotiate the path they'd like  their development to take. Teacher will have  ownership of the direction they want to go  whilst alongside the mentor. Observation,  assessment, modelling, and experimentation  with new techniques. Blended Course 3
