training courses for clil teachers, for overseas teachers, for english teachers

There are a lot of 'TEFL teacher training courses' out there - but what about courses to help already qualified English teachers?

Here we're talking not only offering CPD/continuing professional development, but giving teachers immediate practical ways to work more effectively in the classroom, as well as further qualifications to enhance their skills and careers.

There are some good UK-based schools which offer this - from the small and intimate, to the big and impressive:

Teacher Training Courses - Pilgrims English Language Courses

There are different understandings of and approaches to teaching - to teaching CLIL, for example:

Jay Doubleyou: clil: content and language integrated learning

Jay Doubleyou: is clil working? is the bilingual class effective? are students learning through english?

A lot of teachers are exhausted - and just need some support and guidance from their peers:

Jay Doubleyou: teacher burnout

But we also need to see learning a language from different perspectives - in which case, it's sometimes good for a teacher to become a student:

Jay Doubleyou: students and teachers prefer different activities when learning english...

There are lots of places to go online of course:

Jay Doubleyou: free on-line resources for learning and teaching english

Although some sort of interaction is the point of any training:

Jay Doubleyou: websites to practice your english

Jay Doubleyou: learn to teach from videos

So, how can a course - either online or offline - offer good interactive training opportunities?

Here are some suggestions on how to create, for example, a course for CLIL teachers:
