English for Beginners

This Erasmus English course is designed for teachers who are new to the English language. The course focuses on basic vocabulary, grammar, and conversation skills, enabling participants to build a strong foundation in English. By the end of the program, participants will be able to understand and use everyday expressions and basic phrases.

What to expect from this Erasmus English course

During the week, lessons combine short presentations with role-playing, group discussions and practical exercises, so participants use English from the first day in everyday situations such as introducing themselves, talking about their school and asking for information. The guided tour of Heraklion’s historic centre and the dinner in a traditional restaurant give extra chances to practise in a friendly setting. This Erasmus English course is eligible for Erasmus+ KA1 funding through your school, and participants receive a Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility.

The primary goal of the English for Beginners program is to help teachers develop fundamental English language skills. This course aims to build confidence in using English for everyday communication and professional development.

In this way the course contributes to the Erasmus+ priorities on language learning and multilingualism and teachers’ professional development.

Testimonial

I am Fabrice and I am really pleased with this training. I was a bit worried at first, but in the end there were no final evaluations. What a relief.
