British Culture for Teachers

This course aims to increase your awareness of British culture and offers you the opportunity to practice your English. While you're with us you'll gain a wider understanding of the key issues in teaching in an English language teaching setting.

Your classes will take place on our city centre campus, located just minutes from the historic city of York, meaning that throughout your stay you'll be fully immersed in British culture. By the end of the course you'll be a more confident and competent user of the English language. 

To further enhance your experience and learning, classroom training will be supplemented by at least three guest speakers from various sectors in the local community. We can also arrange for the group to visit places of interest in and around York.  

You will study a number of subjects during this course, including:

• authentic modern English 
• issues of class and gender in British society 
• youth culture 
• changes in education and how this affects parents, teachers and students
• crime, subculture and the disadvantaged 
• stereotypes of Britain and the British 
• multiculturalism in Britain 
• the relationship between language and culture 
• political correctness 
• British humour
