Learn the skill of asking useful questions

Gain confidence with teaching grammar and vocabulary

Increase your learners' confidence in you

One of the biggest challenges for trainees and novice teachers is explaining language...

...and knowing whether learners have actually understood it.

You explain a word. Heads nod. You present a grammar structure. Everyone seems happy.

You ask 'Do you understand?' and five minutes later it's clear that they don't. That's where concept checking comes in. An essential skill for teachers and one that's assessed in CELTA.

But this course isn't just about writing CCQs.

It's about understanding meaning more deeply, asking better questions, and becoming the kind of teacher who can quickly identify confusion before it becomes a problem.

You'll learn how to analyse meaning, break language into manageable parts, use learner dictionaries effectively, create clear concept checking questions, use timelines with confidence, and check understanding across a wide range of language areas.
