There was a training course of teaching skills with the expert from Oxford University Press for IPS teachers at Cao Thang Campus on 17th October.
The training program was divided into two sessions that are suitable for both teaching assistants and foreign teachers at the Asian International School within one day.
Ms Sadie Jane Maddocks, an expert from Oxford University also the Ex-Director of Oxford University Press in South East Asia, has given lots of beneficial knowledge and experiences to English teachers at the Asian International School through many training courses for consecutive years.
The training program in 2015-2016 has focused on effective teaching methodology that can be applied to develop the students’ listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
