About the teacher training centre
Do you want an online professional development course, no matter where you are in the world?
The IH Online Teacher Training Institute (OTTI) is the teacher training wing of International House World Organisation. We provide online professional development courses for EFL teachers around the world. We have courses for every stage of a teacher’s career, from soon after your initial qualification to DELTA level and management courses.
Learning online gives you the flexibility to set your own study hours and save money on travel and accommodation.
On our courses you can ‘attend’ whenever (and wherever!) is convenient for you. You don't usually have to attend a live chat or webinar at a specific time, although sometimes there are live "meetups" so you have the chance to chat with your tutor and other classmates.
To help you there is ongoing support from your tutors in online forums and through individual feedback - and you'll probably find your other course participants are really helpful as well. You are definitely not studying alone, and this tutor and peer support is what our trainees say they like most about our courses.
Teams and Communication
On this course you will learn about how to manage teams effectively (face-to-face and remotely) and explore issues of organisational communication.
Over six weeks, we will:
- consider the stages of team formation and team roles, and look at theory and practice of leadership in teams;
- examine strategies for improving teams which are not working effectively;
- analyse and explore the main communication issues in your workplace, and look at ways of addressing these;
- through case studies and discussion, explore and devise best practice for ensuring organisational communication is effective.
The course is assessed through a portfolio
