CertTESOL Taster: Phonology - Intonation

In this interactive phonology workshop, you will experience a typical input session on the CertTESOL as we discover how understanding word stress benefits learners of English and adds a new set of tools for teachers to use in their classroom.

You will also get the chance to get some first-hand experience with the ways that input sessions are delivered on the CertTESOL course, meet a course tutor and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the course.

The Trinity CertTESOL is one of only 2 named courses for Hong Kong's EDB - Primary NET Scheme.
