My name's Irina and I've worked for the Teacher Training Department since 2005. I've been with BKC for almost 10 years working as an ADOS Lingua.ru and then as an ADOS Satellite Schools. After being trained as a teacher trainer I started running CELTA courses, and I also run the 'ATEEL Refresher Course' and the 'Language and Methodology Course' for Russian teachers. As for in-house teacher training, I arrange monthly seminars and run the 'IH WO Language Awareness Course' which is very popular among BKC teachers. One of the advantages of working for the Teacher Training Department is the opportunity to travel. As part of the ATEEL program I do assessments and run teacher training sessions in different ATEEL schools within the former Soviet Union. So I've been to Cheliabinsk, Rostov-on-Don, Kemerovo, Uhta, Ekaterinburgh and Sorov, which I've never been to before although I'm Russian. Working on my own professional development, I did an MA in TESOL at Wollongong University in 2010 and after running over 20 intensive CELTA courses, I became a CELTA assessor. Teacher Training is constantly increasing the variety of its programmes and you have to read a lot of methodology literature to be up to date with the latest ideas in TEFL. My present interests include using technology in the lesson and developing learner autonomy.
