Przykładowe tematy szkoleń
Bringing Speaking to Life
Are your speaking classes quieter than you would like? Does your inspiration run dry when you plan speaking lessons? This highly practical session looks at how we can get our students speaking enthusiastically once again. The majority of the session consists of the demonstration and analysis of practical classroom activities.
Bringing Grammar to Life
Do your students groan at the thought of grammar and sigh at the sight of a substitution table? In this highly practical session we will look at engaging and motivating ways of dealing with structures. The session will include practical suggestions on dealing in a fun way with meaning, form and pronunciation of grammar structures, plus some ideas for making controlled or restricted practice less of a chore.
Business Correspondence
Practical session full of modern writing tips, techniques and useful guidelines that will help your students to communicate effectively in writing. We'll follow the golden rule of Model Business Letters, E-mails & Other Business Documents: 'Remember! if you wouldn't say it, don't write it!' Cross Cultures
The notions of language, communication and culture are inseparable from each other. Thus, it is impossible to teach them separately. The session places special emphasis on the importance of teaching culture in a communicative way and developing students’ communication skills. It also provides practical activities broadening our students’ cultural outlook and knowledge of the world.
Do our Tests Pass Muster?
Whether we like it or not, tests are becoming a more and more important part of school life. Being able to write a test which really tests what it aims to test, then, is a crucial skill. This session presents a brief summary of the key principles of effective tests and some good and bad examples of question types. English Then and Now
We all know that English, like any language, is constantly growing and changing. We also know how important it is to keep on top of our subject, and how hard it is to find time to do this! This session will look at the past and present of the language, drawing on examples of real language from the media and other sources to highlight recent developments in the English language and how we look at it. The session will also include a look at what might happen to the language in the future.
Experience the Multidimensional Side of Learning & Teaching English
Hear, feel and see the quality of experiencing language through all your senses. The multisensory approach to teaching is suitable for teaching all learners. Since we’ve been hearing so much about dyslexia and so many students face learning difficulties, let’s explore what those specific learning difficulties are and how to deal with them in practice. Exploring Reading Materials
Reading is a great source of language enrichment and therefore it’s crucial our students like it and are motivated to jump into reading activities. During this session we will explore reading passages with different approaches. We’ll play with variety of practical activities to take the most of reading. Future bright, Future right?
Assessing Interactive Whiteboard Technology in the Classroom
We are forever being told of the “next big thing” – the latest in new technology that will transform learning and teaching. Can we be sure that the Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) is not a fly-by-night idea, incurring extra cost to your institution without yielding tangible benefits? Pearson Longman has developed the latest Interactive White Board technology to enhance the language learning experience with New Cutting Edge Digital and Total English Digital. This session explores the benefits of this supportive classroom tool and software specifically for English Language teaching, giving you the opportunities for some 'hands-on' experience and discussion. Grammar Games
Grammar is serious! Grammar is perhaps so serious and central in learning a foreign language that we should better search for ways to help students put their energy into mastering and internalizing it. Difficult? When games are employed in teaching grammar, it becomes all so simple. Language Is Interaction - Communicative Approach in Teaching Adults In this practical session a number of classroom activities will be explored that enhance our teaching practice and help students develop their communicative competence in authentic contexts.
Learning – a Memorable Experience Our memory and the ability to remember is a key factor for a long-term success in language learning. Yet, it’s still an unexplored field in methodology. This session will be a memorable trip into the memory processes. It will provide you with loads of useful tricks to boost your students’ memory and will also equip you in variety of revision ideas so that your students can really taste the feeling of success in language learning.
Managing Groups
This practical session will focus on different ways of group management and will explore some ways to make all students active during classes. It will also give you some practices of how to deal with ‘difficult students’ and mixed ability groups. Meaningful Learning
'Learning a language is all about meaning' – few would disagree with such a truism, but we rarely consider what meaning actually is. This session will consider the nature of meaning, identifying different kinds of meaning and different approaches, activities and techniques to ensure that we teach a living language which connects with our learners' needs and interests: in a word, a language which is genuinely meaningful.
Motivation is a Real Drive Motivation is one of key factors in effective learning. What can we, teachers do to enhance it? This session will provide the whole richness of practical advice on how to make our students more willing, enthusiastic and responsible in their learning process.
Not All Great Minds Think Alike! Are your students experiencing listening, speaking, reading, writing or memory problems? Maybe they struggle with more than one difficulty. Are you not sure how to help them learn more effectively? Then, this workshop is designed for you. The focus will be on types of learning disabilities and various types of activities that help students with learning difficulties achieve success in learning English.. so that, we teach all of our students, not just the bright ones!
Playing with it!
Vocabulary is a tool for communication. This simple truth will drive our session with various examples and ideas through different vocabulary teaching stages. We will discuss variety of techniques to make vocabulary learning a meaningful, memorable and enjoyable experience for our students. Teaching Digitally – Teaching A Step Ahead
Longman English Interactive, the dynamic integrated skills course, is now available online. Students can log in from home, from the lab, or from any location with Internet access. Teachers can manage their class, set assignments, and monitor students’ progress with the program’s easy-to-use management tools. The presentation shows both the content of this unique 4-level general English course and how its users (students and language schools) can benefit from it.
Using Films in Class Films are a wonderful potential resource for us as language teachers but all too often the magic of a good film is lost in a welter of gap-fills and comprehension questions. This session looks at how we can exploit films for language and skills work without ruining the magic of cinema.
What's in a Word?
This session takes a closer look at the humble word, often neglected in these lexically dominated days of collocations and polywords. We analyse words in terms of meaning, form and pronunciation, spicing the dish with practical and engaging activities for the classroom.
Whole-brain Teaching Left or right brain dominant? Have you ever examined your students in this context? The answer to this question can be a key factor in effective teaching. This session will explore the issue further and will show that the most effective teaching takes place when both hemispheres interplay in the learning process. You will also see and experience the ways to achieve that.
