Lessons-in-Self – Activities and Tasks to Developing Self-Esteem through English Language Teaching 

Lessons-in-Self is a transformational education ELT programme with two objectives: personal and language development, which can help any learner reach their highest potential. Having provided a taster of this unique programme at the ETAS PD Day, we invite you to come along to a 2.5-hour workshop where you will be guided through meaningful activities and tasks that aim to support and develop self-esteem and can be used by both teachers and learners alike. Though at first language tasks appear unassuming, they have the creative potential to reach deeper. Linguistically, they are so simple they can be used with almost any level and teaching context including adults, teens and young learners. If you like to think outside the box and are open to new ideas, would like to ignite the creative potential within yourself and your learners whilst simultaneously developing their and your self-esteem, then this workshop is for you!

Mystery shopping assignments in St. Gallen

From bareinternational website: A mystery shopper, or mystery evaluator, is an independent service professional who assists our clients with making important decisions to move their business. A typical project involves the evaluation of one of our client’s businesses through in-person visits, telephone calls, web-based inquiries, or other means. Typically, the evaluator provides his/her objective feedback about the greeting and attitude of store employees, the employees’ knowledge of products and services, and the location’s appearance and product selection. Each project is different because BARE International’s clients all have different needs and design unique programs to meet them. When given a specific project, the evaluator receives a briefing on that particular client’s goals and objectives, including any special requirements the client has communicated to us.

Register and check out the assignments available in St Gallen.
