Course Content

Our increasingly interconnected world requires today’s young students to develop essential skills in the 4Cs: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

This course will introduce you to a wide range of practical methods on how to integrate the 4Cs into your EFL teaching. The content is ideal for teachers of primary school students in Japan who study English around once or twice a week.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities to talk about your own experiences, share knowledge and exchange ideas.

Course material will be delivered in English only.
