In the second year, you develop an understanding of the grammar and syntax of ATM lessons. We review and elaborate on the themes from Year one. Personal experience and discussion will guide you in reflecting upon what constitutes the underlying structure of a  lesson.

We look in depth at a number of classic ATM lessons. You learn how to give instructions and guide a class, as well as how to relate the lessons to activity in daily life. You will teach lessons to each other while being supervised by teaching staff. At the end of the second year you will be authorised to teach FI to the public on a provisional basis.

The teaching of FI will also be included. You will begin to explore the relationship between ATM and FI, learning to teach the same "classic" themes either verbally or by touch. In order to avoid "recipes" and foster real understanding, the same theme is developed from a number of different angles and with varying constraints. Much of the hands-on work is introduced through guided work in pairs and small groups.

You complete the second year understanding fundamental lesson configurations through verbal and hands-on approaches.
