Instructor Training Course

(English, German, Chinese or Japanese)

Join our training program for future Birken Communications Instructors!

We are seeking highly educated bilinguals, trilinguals, and individuals with exceptional linguistic talent to join our training program and become official Birken Communications Instructors.

In the first stage of our program, you will learn how to teach sounds accurately using knowledge of practical phonetics. We will also introduce you to language teaching methods based on recitation practice. Language teaching class should resemble a performing art class, so you will study how to encourage your students to be creative and to take initiative in your future classes.

In class, it doesn't matter what you cover. What matters is what you discover (Viktor Weisskopf)

Birken Communications Instructors are not mere teachers of vocabulary and grammar. They are also fighters for basic human rights, including the right to learn, regardless of gender, social back- ground or age. They respect every student and defend his or her dignity.

This program is also designed to arm future Instructors with the skills they need to strengthen class identity and cohesion. We see language classes as living organisms and you are the strong hub trees from which they grow.

Every student deserves a chance to experience the true joy of learning. And you can be the one to give them that chance!
