A Phonics Based, Student-Centered Elementary Lesson Plan
How do students learn the 4 skills in a phonics-based, student-centered class? At Dave and Amy English School, we have a simple elementary lesson plan that works with beginners up to advanced elementary students. Use this plan and adapt it to accommodate all levels. Most beginning ABC students progress to reading full sentences with 3 letter words in 3 months.
We’ll show you how.
Possibilities with Padlet (Digital Learning Tool)
In this workshop, we will introduce you to an array of possibilities for collaboration using Padlet, a digital canvas that allows users to post text, videos and images from a mobile device or a desktop.

Motivated Learners Succeed
Motivation is the biggest determiner of a learner’s success at learning a language. Motivating our learners is a complex and often counterintuitive process. Consider why incentives can be a powerful demotivator. This presentation will provide a practical framework for understanding motivation and how to increase it in our learners.
