Learning and Teaching Approaches

The majority of the curriculum is fixed. Students can, however, make choices in what/how they want to develop specific skills/needs. Most lessons are in small groups (with maximum of 10-15 students). There is much emphasis on group work; lectures are limited. There is some ‘micro-teaching’ as part of the course. Teaching skills are learned by observations and teaching practice in schools. Students are placed in different schools during the programme; in the fourth year a period is spent on independent teaching.
