Trinity TYLEC (Teaching Young Learners Extension Certificate)

Overview

The TYLEC is a course from Trinity for teachers of young learners who already have some teaching experience. It focuses on teaching YLs (young learners) and Teens and the differences between them as well as the more modern challenge of teaching these age groups online. The main focus of the course is helping teachers think more about their teaching practice and continuous development, including being observed 5 times by EF trainers to get focused feedback and support on your teaching.
