New courses to boost confidence of teachers

Cambridge English has launched three new English language courses designed to give teachers around the world working in primary and secondary education the language skills they need to teach English with confidence. The courses cover professional and general English skills and are availableor for language school chains to offer to their teachers. They help teachers progress through Levels A1 to B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) – an internationally recognised framework of language ability – and are delivered online with face-to-face options.
