Here are some recent news stories from Embassy Hastings:

Embassy Hastings students and staff - stars of the TEFL world!

The Embassy schools in London and Hastings were recently the scene of some professional filming - and our staff and students were the stars!

Renowned publishers Longman Pearson sent cameras into the classrooms to film examples of real-life English lessons. They were keen to show the use of our modern and recently-installed interactive whiteboards, as well as more traditional methods based on course books.

The resulting DVD is to accompany the new edition of 'The Practice of English Language Teaching' by Jeremy Harmer - one of the best-selling books on TEFL methodology. It shows some of the best practices in teaching, discusses common issues in the classroom, and aims to instruct new teachers.

Each teacher was interviewed about his or her lesson, and the interviews appear on the DVD, along with full-length footage of the classes. Watching the DVD gives a very good impression of what it is like to study at Embassy. It is also a fine tribute to our staff that we were selected to stand as an example to teachers entering the TEFL profession.

The full DVD is included as an insert with the new edition of 'The Practice of English Language Teaching'. All Embassy schools also have a copy available for students and staff to borrow.
