This eight-week online course is designed to help you plan and structure your own online course. The course is practical, focussing on your own context and drawing upon the Department of Continuing Education’s experience of designing high-quality online course delivery. 

It is suited for teachers, Academics, staff developers, designers of online learning materials and support staff, who may be considering a career in learning technology.

We want to honour you for taking this step of faith and joining us! During the Online English Cultural Orientation Training, we want to help you to speak, read, write and understand English. We hope this will be a time when God increases your love for the nations and you can learn not only about English culture but about many different cultures from around the world.

Our vision is to create a time of training that helps you break language and cultural barriers and live out your dreams more effectively.

Please feel free to contact us at any time, we are here to serve you in any way we can.

Blessings,

ECO School Staff

ECO stands for English Cultural Orientation. The purpose of this 6-week course is to equip people with the English language and knowledge of different cultures so that they can communicate effectively in the most widely spoken language of today’s world. Along with English, trainees will learn and celebrate several different cultures and be given many opportunities to learn more about God.

JOURNAL

The journal is the way you will have to record your thoughts and new experiences during your Cultural Orientation School online. It will need to be type and tuned in on Monday of each week. Our advice is for the student to avoid google translate. The journal will be a way that our teachers will evaluate your progress. If you use google translate the teacher will not be able to help you improve.

FIRST PART

Write about how was the week for you and what have you learned that you will be able to apply in your personal journey? What was good? What was challenging?  Here you have the freedom to write whatever is on your heart. It can be a written paragraph, , a poem, a song or any other creative ways you would like to express yourself written. 

SECOND PART

Write about the devotional of the week and what you learned

THIRD PART

You will be expected to hand your assignments in every Monday.  They will be marked by a member of the staff and returned to you on Wednesday ready for you to start a new week of journaling.
