Programme details
A Welcome from Dr Charles Boyle, the Seminar Director
Welcome to Oxford University's English Language Teachers' Summer Seminar which offers you a first class professional development experience in one of the university's oldest colleges. The seminar is uniquely structured to give you a learning and study experience like no other as you discover for yourself what it is like to study and live in an Oxford college. From your welcome reception in the Fellows' Garden to the final dinner in the splendid surroundings of Exeter College dining hall, the memories of your course will remain with you for many years to come.
Your day begins with a stimulating and informative plenary lecture (with the exception of Wednesdays where there is no lecture) and is followed by two highly practical week-long workshops. You attend two such workshops each week, each made up of five daily 90-minute sessions. During the programme you will attend four out of a choice of ten such workshops. This gives you a chance to discover and explore new areas in ELT which you have perhaps not had the chance to focus on before. The ten workshops are described below.
