10. STRUCTURE AND TIMING
Face to face
The face to face program provides you an opportunity to sit in on University of
Technological of south-east from Veracruz class to explore experiential learning in a small
class setting. This trainee handbook can be development in different structures or way to
teaching.
The training will include “train the trainer” programmes. This course also comes with a set
of a manual where it describes and explain how to do the dossier in six different areas and
it will explain the topic of the dossier as Language Awareness, Language and Culture,
Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation, Self-
Assessment and Development.
Members of the English academy will explain to the trainees what are the aims of the each
lesson, it will give an example of the description of a class, it also will explain what are the
correct procedure to do the dossier and the conclusion of the lesson. It is also important
for trainees to know all attachments or resources that they could use for develop their
classes.
All the material or resources to support are showed face to face by the English Academy
will also be made available. The ultimate objective should be to create increased the best
methodology and strategies for teaching, so that all trainees can utilise the information for
improvement of their quality of teaching, and to create scope for teaching skills
development.
All nine members of the English academy will be instructors who will teach in the face to
face format. We should not forget all benefits of face to face training which are though face
to face communication, additional information is available such as the deducting through
body language, tone, volume and modulations of voice. Sometimes technology often does
not facilitate the right type of information being shared or exchanged. This means that
learning potential can be limited. However, the trainees are not entirely passive in this
relationship or tutorial, as they give the instructor valuable information about how they are
progressing, areas in which they are doing well and those that would benefit from further
input. Face to face also delivery allows trainees to share their personal experiences,
thoughts and challenges in relation to the content. This can be a rich source of learning
and one that many trainees miss when undertaking distance education.
The timing for this program using face to face training will be twice a week, three hours per
day, counting 60 hours in total

11. Blended course
The benefits of face to face courses are well documented elsewhere on this handbook.
Onsite courses have the face to face contact which online courses lack, and online
courses do not include any practice teaching, and for this reason are less recommended
for absolute beginner teachers
There are many factors which may lead a trainee to go for online training, however, factors
which include convenience, cost, access, location, learning styles and preferences.
Online courses do enable you to gain a useful insight into this handbook, and where there
is a lower minimum requirement for the qualifications of teachers, these courses can serve
as a 'passport' into teaching. Online courses give a foundation which is ideal for helping to
orientate potential teachers who may be going off on a short term teaching mission, where
teaching English is not being seen as a long-term career, nor to provide a sustainable
source of income, where teaching might take place on a casual or volunteer basis.
This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to
face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.
Online course
With our busy lives, conventional employee training can become a repetitive, time-
consuming task for all involved. In-person classroom training requires that everyone
involved get together at the same time/place, and the teacher must be paid for his/her
time, even though the same material is presented again and again. Conventional training
involves print materials, travel expenses, and many other cost-producing aspects.
Flexibility: Online training works great with tight schedules. Since many people are living
busy lives, these Web-based applications can be reached from home or any other
Internet-accessible computer anytime! No more scheduled training sessions to work
around. Trainees can train at their own pace, and work around their schedules, thereby
minimizing loss of productivity.
Relevance: All content-managed courses stay up-to-date, ensuring that the most accurate,
relevant information reaches trainees.
Affordable: Companies with a large volume of high-turnover positions where continuous
training is necessary can save thousands with online training programs. They eliminate
classroom related costs and materials' expenses. Now trainers can develop the course
content, present it once and go on to the next project. Trainers only need to revisit the
course if the content needs to be modified.
Retention: Since trainees are learning at their own pace, the learning retention rate is often
higher than in a classroom setting. They can still have opportunities to email or call the

12. teacher to ask questions, although many online courses now offer an updatable FAQ
section where they can look first for answers to the most commonly asked questions,
which reduces repetitive questions.
Reporting: Most applications, like Osmosis, are customizable. The reporting tools are also
customized to suit the company. During the analysis phase of the project, specialists
determine what components are most important and develop easy ways to gather the
exact data needed for grading.
This kind of course will take more time because it will required more practice for face to
face and online practices. It should count 60 hours in total.
Weekend course
The way for this training will be only apply on weekends, it gives to teachers all the
information that they need to know but on weekends so they will be able to develope their
work and put in practices their experimental work in the week with their students.
Compact course
In this course, we use the summary of all the methodologies and strategies for teaching, it
also focus in the meaning of the main concepts and includes a lot of examples about to
how make the dossiers. Talking about compact course is spending the same hours for
having this course but the insensitive for learning and practice increase, it means that
teachers will have to spend more time practicing and doing research that reading or assist
face to face to a course. It will be more practical than theoretical.

13. CONTENTS
This handbook helps the teachers in training to develop their own teaching dossier. It is
really practical for trainees; it will help in order to design teacher’s teaching dossiers. This
manual contents general information such as the aims of the training, the requirements of
the trainee, the application form for trainees interested, the questioner and all the course
rules.
It also specifies all strategies, structure and timing that we are using for this training. Some
strategies are face to face, blended course, online course, weekend course, compact
course.
This trainee handbook will develop the language awareness, language and culture,
Language Learning Processes, Language Teaching, Planning and Evaluation and Self-
Assessment and Development in all the trainees teachers in order to guide to meet,
understand and design six dossiers for different areas, for any topic and level they choose
to work on.
The six main areas of the training are:
1. Language awareness, where trainees will improve their pronunciation training, learning
vocabulary, listening comprehension, understanding different accents, learning spoken
and written languages. Traineeswill be abletodescribe thelanguage I am teaching and

Evaluation Procedure and Assessment criteria
The evaluation criteria for the trainee are going to be according to the way which
evaluation is held in the institution. The evaluations’ university is divided in two parts, 70%
practice and 30% theoretical knowledge. Based on this, the observation must be
considered by following the practical part. It is important that the trainee provides practical
activities, more than grammar explanation. Also, the institution is focused on
communicative approach; for this reason, the interaction must be by speaking practices.
The evaluation criteria would be obtained by taking into account the next activities:
Class preparation, class development, and class ending. The first part must contain the
way which the trainee is getting ready for the class, including material, resources, and how
there is an anticipation to possible problems.
During the class development, it is considered the interaction between the trainee and the
students. It is necessary to catch student’s attention by providing interesting information for
them. One of the most important points to consider in this part is clarifying doubts and

29. questions properly, as well as providing clear explanations about grammar structures and
communication patterns.
Finally, the class ending must cover a feedback about the topic. It is important that during
this section of the class, students clarify all the doubts. It is needed a general review of the
session as well.
In order to achieve a satisfactory evaluation of 70% of practice, and 30% theoretical
knowledge, the teacher has to achieve those three sections in every session. For that
reason, the trainee has to comprehend and put into practice all those requirements. The
evaluation will be divided in the next form:
Class preparation.- 30%
Class development.- 45%
Class ending.- 25%
