From 4th to 16th August this year I stayed for another teachers' course in the UK - it was for the fourth time since 2007.
Today I am going to write about the lessons we had during these two weeks. The title of my course included the phrase: "... focus on Scotland".
In the first week we had a teacher who showed us lots of class room activities with music to bring more "listening fun" to our pupils and students.
In the second week we had lessons on Scottish literature, and on Scottish politics (pro and contra Scottish independence).
The participants of the course were about 30 teachers from all over Europe. They came from Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Spain, Poland, Portugal, and of course Germany.
We were divided into two groups. Our lessons took place in a pavilion within a wonderful park. But the location itself looked more stylish than is was suitable for the course. There was no computer access and the rooms were a bit too large for a class room, so the acustics were not the best. But we had really enthusiastic teachers who made up for this, AND we really learned lots of interesting language activities.
Have a look at some class room impressions:

Our teacher in the first week was very inspiring and funny, he understood very well to motivate us.
Here is a link to his website. If you like and have the time you could find out something about quite interesting and unusual recipes he has tried himself and described in his blog.
