iTDi Courses
are social
because learning is social
Explore the different ways to learn with iTDi. Our current courses fall into three broad formats: live courses that focus on applied classroom skills, live courses built around deep professional discussion, and self-study courses based on selected archived courses.
This page introduces the types of courses we currently offer and also serves as an archive of past courses, showing the range of topics, instructors, and professional learning experiences iTDi has offered over the years.
Live courses: Applied skills
These live courses help teachers develop practical skills they can use in their own classrooms, projects, and professional contexts. They typically include guided input, examples from practice, opportunities to apply ideas, and feedback from experienced teacher educators.
Live courses: Deep discussion
These live courses are designed for teachers who want to explore important ideas in ELT in greater depth. They focus on reflection, discussion, and professional dialogue, helping participants connect theory, beliefs, and classroom decision-making.
Self-study courses
Our self-study courses are based on selected archived iTDi courses and allow teachers to learn at their own pace. They include recorded course content and provide a pathway to a Certificate of Completion through assignment submission and evaluation.
