Discover the magic of inquiry

Struggling to keep your young learners engaged? 

Inquiry-based learning offers a way to spark curiosity, foster exploration, and nurture a love for learning English. 

Transform your young learner classroom

Does it feel like your learners just don’t connect with what you’re trying to teach them? 

Do your primary and secondary students struggle to see the relevance of learning an additional language? 

You need a teaching approach that shifts the focus back to where it belongs—on your learners. 

With inquiry-based learning, you’ll discover how to foster independence, creativity, and engagement in every student while feeling more confident in your own teaching.

 I truly think this is the way forward for young learner education.

Under Michelle’s expert guidance, I explored different models of inquiry-based learning and developed an inquiry unit to use in the classroom. I highly recommend this course to primary language teachers who would like to start using inquiry-based learning in their teaching.

Is inquiry-based learning right for me?

The short answer is yes. An inquiry-based approach is flexible enough to work for any teacher in any setting. Whether you work with primary, secondary or adults. Whether you teach online or face-to-face. Whether your students are A1 or C1.

Even if you don’t have much planning time

Even if you need to follow a curriculum or use a course book

Even if you have a multi-level class (especially this one!)

Inquiry-based learning can be messy. You may feel like you’re losing control. You and your students are learning new skills. 

But I’m here to support you along the way. Over six weeks you’ll develop the confidence to relinquish control and the know-how to turn your classroom into a thriving, learner-centred space.
