IH LAC

Who is it for?

language awareness course (LAC) is intended for a range of participants. It is suitable for less experienced teachers because sessions initially involve analysis of core grammatical areas commonly found in coursebooks.

It is also suitable for more experienced teachers as it goes on to explore these language areas in greater depth. Participants need to have completed the CELTA or an equivalent certificate and should ideally have at least a basic grasp of grammar commonly found in coursebooks and a high level of proficiency in English.

Where does it come from?

The course is provided by the International House World Organisation and written by Alex Tilbury. On completion of the course and assignments, successful participants will receive a certificate from the IH World Organisation.
