Often feel that your teaching is turning into a vicious circle of tedious tasks dictated by a coursebook? Unlock your learners’ potential and empower them to express themselves with simple activities that stimulate imagination and allow students to become creative while learning English.
This three hour hands-on workshop focuses on:
- How to encourage learners to use their imagination and develop creativity in and outside the class.
- How they can develop speaking, writing, reading and listening skills with the aid of creativity and personalized learning.
- How teachers can “transform” every day, routine class activities to ones that stimulate learners’ interest.
- How to make the most of project work.
- How to discourage learners from “copy-paste” practices
- How to integrate seamlessly creativity and imagination into daily teaching without adding strain on the syllabus.
- Alternative ways to give feedback so that learners can reflect on their end product.
- The use of a diversity of tools ranging from pens and papers to tablets and mobile phones to facilitate language production.
