Five days on inclusive teaching across linguistic diversity — workshops, a live observation day, and lesson frameworks you'll use back home.
Why this course? Your classroom is more multilingual than it was five years ago, and likely to be more so still. Whether you’re fielding your first multilingual class this term or running a fully bilingual programme, the difference between a juggling act and a strength is methodology — language-acquisition theory, inclusive lesson design, and classroom management built for diverse groups.
What it covers. Inclusive teaching strategies, theories of additional-language acquisition, classroom management for culturally diverse groups, and lesson design that supports learners across language proficiency levels. Open to primary teachers, secondary teachers, ESL/EAL specialists, and school leaders. Cohorts capped at 10.
How it works. Mornings: methodology and acquisition theory, with practical language-support workshops. Wednesday is observation day at our partner international school — multilingual classes in real time, scaffolding visible. Friday closes with a mock-lesson session: you teach a multilingual-friendly lesson, peers and tutors give feedback, you adjust before delivering it at school.
Course completion certificate accepted as continuing professional development by school authorities across the EU.
Every session ends with a worksheet, plan, or activity teachers can use the week they return — not a binder of theory.
Mornings in class, afternoons using the language with hosts, shopkeepers, and trip guides — the gap between learning English and using it closes fast.
Vocabulary, grammar, and discourse practiced where they actually appear — ordering food, asking directions, presenting work, holding an opinion in a debate.
Frameworks for designing one lesson that supports learners across language proficiencies and cultural backgrounds — tested in workshop iterations with peer feedback.
A full day of structured observation at our partner international school — see inclusive teaching, language scaffolding, and engagement strategies in a real multilingual setting.
Morning: principles of multilingual education, global perspectives on language and culture in classrooms, the key challenges and opportunities of teaching diverse groups. Afternoon: workshop on adapting lesson plans for multilingual classrooms, then strategies for diverse learners.
Morning: theories of second-language and additional-language acquisition, cognitive development in bilingual learners, practical language-support techniques. Afternoon: collaborative workshop designing multilingual-friendly lessons and engagement strategies.
Morning: structured observation at our partner international school — multilingual classes in action, focused on engagement and lesson delivery in linguistically diverse groups. Afternoon: guided workshop on creating inclusive lesson plans, applying observation insights.
Morning: classroom-management techniques for multilingual settings, engaging students from different backgrounds, case studies of successful inclusive practice. Afternoon: peer discussion on classroom challenges and best practices for feedback in multilingual classes.
Morning: deliver a multilingual-friendly mock lesson with structured peer and tutor feedback. Afternoon: refining your lesson plan, group reflection on multilingual strategies, EUTA certification.

EUTA’s training rooms sit inside Benalmádena International College — a gated international-school campus in Nueva Torrequebrada with security, controlled access, and EUTA staff on-site. Where you sleep depends on who you are.
Teachers stay at Flatotel International, a comfortable hotel walking distance from the EUTA campus and the Mediterranean. Daily breakfast included; private room option available; full board can be added.
Primary and secondary teachers, ESL/EAL specialists, and school leaders dealing with linguistic diversity in their classrooms. Particularly useful if your school is fielding more migrant or international students than it used to — the course meets you where you are, whether that’s “first multilingual class this term” or “managing a fully bilingual programme”.
No — the course covers both foundational principles and advanced strategies, so first-time multilingual-classroom teachers and experienced EAL specialists both leave with concrete tools. The schedule adapts to participant experience.
Both. The course combines language-acquisition theory (how multilingual students learn) with inclusive teaching strategies (how to design lessons and manage classrooms across language proficiency). The Wednesday observation at our partner international school anchors the theory in real practice.
Adaptable lesson frameworks, classroom-management protocols, language-support strategies, and a structured reflection on the multilingual-classroom observation. Friday mock-lesson feedback gives you a chance to refine before delivering at school.
Yes. The course meets Erasmus+ KA-122 requirements, and we provide the documentation your school needs for the grant application — course description, Learning Agreement, daily programme, and invitation letter. Read the full Erasmus+ for teachers walkthrough →
Teachers stay at Flatotel International, a comfortable hotel walking distance from the EUTA campus and the Mediterranean — daily breakfast included, with private or shared room options and full board available as an add-on. Training itself runs on the EUTA campus inside Benalmádena International College, a gated international-school site with controlled access and on-site staff.
You teach by making language visible: treating pupils’ home languages as a resource, scaffolding subject vocabulary, and designing tasks that every learner can enter at their own level. This course turns those principles into concrete classroom routines you can use the Monday you return.
The most common challenges are mixed language levels in one room, subject vocabulary that blocks understanding, and pupils whose strongest language the teacher doesn’t speak. The course tackles each one with practical strategies drawn from schools across Europe.
