Materials Development & Pedagogical Support
STEP Programme
The STEP Programme (Start Teaching in English Programme) is designed to help PDI who are or who intend to teach academic subjects in English. The programme consists of three separate elements.
- English Medium Instruction Methodology (10 hours, 2nd term).
- Materials Development and Pedagogical Support (2 hours, 2nd term). Personalized individual training so that teaching staff can receive help in the design of teaching materials in English.
- Classroom Observation (2 hours, 3rd term). Personalized individual training in which teaching staff can ask for one of their classes to be observed and then meet with the trainer to receive feedback.
