Helping teachers to use a selfaccess centre to its full potential

Felicity O'Dell

Felicity O'Dell has been teaching EFL since 1976 and has held the post of Learning Centre Co-ordinator at Eurocentre Cambridge since 1986. She holds a doctorate in Russian Education. She has also published a number of books related to examinations, for example, Using Grammar (with Roy Kingsbury), a set of practice test books for the Pitman ESOL examinations, and materials for the new Cambridge Advanced English Examinations (with Roy Kingsbury and Guy Wellman).

This article outlines the main problems faced by teachers when their organization introduces a self-access centre. It deals with a number of methods whereby teachers can be helped to cope with these problems. The methods discussed fall into four separate categories—induction materials for teachers, ideas for lessons based on the self-access centre, materials relating to counselling students working as individuals, and seminars for members of staff. The ideas presented are all ones which have been tried out at Eurocentre, Cambridge, but it is felt that they can all easily be implemented also in centres of rather different types.
