ELA-Edinburgh Returns from Russia



ELA-Edinburgh’s teacher trainer, Douglas Matheson, has recently returned from hosting a three-day English teacher training course for the Study Centre Ltd, Moscow.

13 teachers from different schools across Moscow were brought together for the training based at a camp in Litvinovo Naro-Fominsk, in the middle of the Russian countryside. Five sessions over 12 and half hours were provided focusing on improving teaching skills. The group were trained in across a range of English teaching methods in reading, writing, debates, warm-ups and fillers.

The location of the training course was ideal because once out in the country, this bonded the group as everyone was out of their comfort zones. For us it was a chance to showcase what we can provide through one of our experienced and regularly one of our students favourite, teachers. Douglas is also our in-house CertTESOL Teacher Trainer.


The chance to share knowledge and skills, between two cultures, created some new friendships too.
