Twenty-one sessions, each one built to be done rather than read: tasks first, the names at the end. Open one, work through it on a laptop or a phone, and print the handout when you need paper.
Links the centre has added. They open where the centre keeps them.
Connect’s own sessions, built into the library. Tutors see all of them.
The session is staged like the lesson it teaches. You do it as a student, then take it apart.
Loop input
Pre-taught vocabulary, a gist read against the clock, detail questions, then the debrief.

One shape, two skills: prepare ideas, useful language, the task, feedback.
Loop input
Pre-teach the terms, predict the staging, read to check, then the debrief.
Loop input
A text first, the language lifted from it, then the staging named.
Loop input
Fluency or accuracy, what makes a task work, the stages in order, Lesson Shape (F).
Loop input
A mystery present, a thank-you letter, product and process, controlled to freer.

Elision, assimilation, intrusive sounds, linking and weak forms: five activities, then the full picture.
Running the room: setting up, correcting, giving feedback.
Classroom skills

Classroom skills
Attitudes, the decision flow, types of error, twelve ways to correct, two practice tables.
Classroom skills
Warm-ups, getting started, cooling down, and a party to finish.
The last week, and what comes after it.
Last week
When the barrier isn't the language: notice it, then adapt the handout.
Last week
The CEFR ladder, the acronyms, the exams, which to recommend, being an examiner.
Last week
Finding work, the interview, the paperwork, carrying on developing, a first-year plan.
The sessions on your timetable, as they are given. Each one stays open once it has been given.
