- Tuition by highly qualified native speaker English language instructors with extensive experience teaching students and training teachers at primary, secondary, tertiary and higher education levels
- A unique opportunity to explore new approaches to the teaching of English to young learners
- An opportunity for participating teachers to build up their motivation and confidence to enable them to enjoy using English in the classroom and in their professional development
- Cross-cultural awareness training and strategies as an integral part of English language teaching in an international context
- An opportunity for participating teachers to observe the Australian classroom environment and the application of English teaching methodologies through organised school visits
