Courses for Primary Teachers of English - International Study Programmes.

INTERNATIONAL STUDY PROGRAMMES' courses for primary teachers of English are designed to give participants the opportunity to improve their own personal English language competence and extend their knowledge of Britain and British life, as well as gaining a wealth of new teaching ideas and EFL materials for use in the primary classroom.

Please contact us if you would like us to make proposals for a course for a group of teachers of English to young learners. There is a wide choice of U.K. locations.

Individual primary teachers are invited to enrol on the following courses for teachers of young learners up to the age of 11. (Click on each course for full details):
