Course content
Our PGCert Education - ELT Writing Materials is for language teachers wishing to develop their skills when designing materials for language learners to a professional level.
This course covers the complete writing cycle, from the first concept to piloting. It concludes with an author’s ‘pitch’ to an editorial board that includes members of the ELT publishing industry.
During the course you will:
- evaluate the different types and purposes of ELT materials and their match for specific audiences
- engage with current professional dialogue about the nature and value of materials and their impact on learners, teachers and the learning culture
- gain the skills of critical and constructive peer review
- gain the skills for piloting and editorial processes.
You will be able to create principled, theorised resources that meet the needs of a specific learner group. As well as the English Language Teaching (ELT) market.
As a successful graduate of this course you are able to join a professional ELT database that is accessed by publishers seeking authors.
