Part of BEA's teacher training program gives trainees to learn about teaching methods through 40 hours of seminar-style class instruction with me. During these two weeks, they also have 10 hours of classroom observation after each of these lessons so that they can see teaching theory put into practice. For the last two weeks of the program, the trainees get to teach their very own classes with student volunteers. This is my favorite part of the training program because I'm always amazed at how each trainee has a different way of putting theory into practice, and at how quickly they improve from one lesson to the next.

For BEA’s teacher training program, the trainees had to teach three speaking classes and two listening ones. To fill up the seats in the classes, we asked our own BEA students to volunteer for the trainees’ teaching practices. Trainees usually had 10 to 15 students in each of their classes, which were streamlined with basic, pre-intermediate or intermediate students. Some BEA students even volunteers every single day during the two weeks of teaching practices! Here they are trying to decide which classes to volunteer for some extra English instruction.

The BEA teacher trainees are definitely relieved to be finished with their one-month intensive training program. Now, we’re just waiting for the Ministry of Education to issue BEA’s government-accredited teacher training certificates. To ease the trainees into teaching their very own group of students, they got plenty of group practice putting theoretical concepts into actual practice. Their demonstration lessons included teaching vocabulary, using grammar time lines, incorporating games, as well as addressing different learning styles in their lessons. Despite a bit of nervousness during these mini-lessons, the trainees pulled-off their sessions with creativity and resourcefulness!
