Course structure

Since it is a self-study course, the participants can do it according to their availability, starting at any time and with no specific time to conclude it.

All 5 modules have the same structure: a video with a short introduction to the concept and the topic, some resources which can be analysed and some short tasks to be completed by the participants.
The final task of the course is the creation of a Teaching Unit on DCE in foreign languages, for which you will have a template available that can be used to structure your lessons.
