The focus will be on the following areas:
Grammar

Throughout the course, we will discuss relevant background reading, explore various (schoolbook) materials and activities, and integrate pertinent national and European documents (e.g. national curricula, the CEFR, the ELP), relating them to specific English language teaching contexts.
Methods:
A mixture of methods will be employed, including
- individual and group activities in and outside of class time,
