OLTDP is an internet -based teacher development course.
If you are teaching English and want to practise new ideas and techniques in your regular classes, the OLTDP could be the right course for you.
The approximately four hour-a-week course provides an introduction to teaching methods, language analysis, pronunciation and classroom techniques. It includes input reading materials and two written assignments on which you will receive feedback. You can also prepare for the University of Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT); the OLTDP includes language input and tasks that help you review meta-language tested in the TKT.
