TYL TEACHING YOUNG LEARNERS 3-DAY EXTENSION COURSE

We are now offering a 3-day extension course in Teaching Young Learners. Courses will run at the end of each CertTESOL course and are open to all. The next session is scheduled for 25th-27th June, 2008. If you are interested, you can find more details about the course through our webpage Certificate in Teaching Young Learners or email info@oxfordtefl.cz for further details.

PUB NIGHT

Don't forget that we still have our regular Thursday evening pub night at the Konvikt pub on Bartolomejska, where trainers, trainees, grads and students all meet to drink and chat. This often leads to social events involving students, graduates and trainees such as canoeing on the Sazava river, January's trip to a Moravian wine cellar, crawling around in limestone pits in Amerika or a great day at the races. You can read about these and see pictures at:
