1. Teacher Training Workshops
ELCOT's Teacher Training Workshops focus primarily on providing theoretical and pedagogical input on testing, methodology, material design and language teaching research theory to enhance teacher content knowledge on the teaching and testing of reading comprehension skills as well as the development of training resources for teachers of English Language departments and their clusters as part of their professional development programmes.
2. Professional Development Consultation
Professional Development consultations, as a follow-up to the Teacher Workshop sessions, will provide hands-on practice sessions to help teachers apply the frameworks and techniques demonstrated during the workshops. The sessions will concretize teachers' understanding of theoretical understanding of language teaching pedagogy. Long-term consultations are also available to facilitate and advice on action research projects on niche requirements related to reading comprehension teaching and testing.
3. Student Enrichment Workshops
ELCOT's Language Tools Programme workshops train graduating secondary school students to employ powerful techniques to develop and hone micro-level linguistic skills targeted in the Cambridge University GCE ‘O’ Level English Paper and achieve better grades.
