Event Information: 6 PD Hours
Language classes are a wealth for students to expand their understanding of the world. The key to effective language learning lies in student engagement. The quote from Benjamin Franklin “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” is at the core of this language teaching approach. This workshop will follow this philosophy. This full- day session will look at:
- Connecting students to languages
- Starting and ending lessons
- Student retention strategies
- Presenting good reasons to pursue language learning
- Engagement inside and outside the classroom
- Maximising time in the language classroom
- TBLT activities
- Having a balanced approach to lesson planning
- Horizontal and vertical activities
- Activities while on exchange
- Activities with exchange students at your school
This seminar will be useful for teachers willing to teach student how to take ownership of their learning, to nurture their curiosity and get them excited about language learning because “what touches the heart is engraved in the memory”, Voltaire.
