In the turmoil of the pandemic, how many of us have taken a moment to reflect on what’s changed in our teaching practice? Are the techniques and activities we used pre-Covid still relevant for the teaching or training context we’re now in? This interactive workshop will take you through key changes identified through extensive research and case studies to evaluate what’s new in ELT, and should stay – for ourselves, our teaching and our industry. During the session you will be taken through a whistle-stop tour of techniques and ideas that have developed in recent years or are changes preceded by pandemic that are likely to remain in the teaching of tomorrow, such as replacing nativeness, improving language skills and teaching knowledge on the job, evidence-based teaching, teaching (live) online classroom techniques and working with emergent language. Each area will contain a practical activity to give you an overview to understand its ramifications for today’s teaching whilst putting it into context and then to help you see how it might work in your own teaching or training practices, and the real world.

Do you prepare students for C1 Advanced or C2 Proficiency? Then this webinar is your chance to ask our panel of experts questions about C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency. We are joined by a Cambridge speaking examiner, an Assessment Group Manager, the Head of Global Recognition, a coursebook publisher and a Senior Assessment Services Manager, who will answer your questions. You can ask any question, for example about the exam format and content, about marking exams, our classroom resources and using authentic texts. You can also ask questions about classroom management, such as planning for fast finishers or learners who need more support and more.

We know that reflection and self-awareness are things that make better learners but are we really implementing it in the classroom? How many times do we carry out different activities but because of timing we don't focus on the really important aspect of helping our students to reflect? If you have thought about this previously, I encourage you to come and join me where I will go through some of my favourite activities and and walk you through my thinking process for the classroom.

This session looks at using a variety of authentic materials in the ESOL classroom and how they can be used to promote a variety of reading skills including critical thinking. Concerned that authentic materials are too challenging for lower levels? This session can demonstrate that they can be equally as useful as an entry levelled text and can be used in mixed ability classes. They can also lend themselves to the development of skills in writing, speaking & listening.

This webinar is aimed at teachers working with Primary learners. You might be a new teacher, or an experienced teacher preparing or interested in preparing for Pre-A1 Starters, A1 Movers, A2 Flyers, and want to find out more about using stories and storytelling techniques in your classes.

How does one measure engagement? The self-assessment is a valid and reliable tool for formative development and metacognition but has a limited role in summative measures. If our teaching approaches seek learner-centeredness, perhaps our evaluations should include learner input as well. In this webinar I will share a little context of my own attempts at negotiated self-assessment as a summative tool and invite participants to consider how self-assessment may be integrated into their own evaluation practices.

In this event, speakers Chris Roland, Graham Stanley and Nare Hakobyan explore different aspects of integrating ICT in the English Language Teaching classroom.

There will be three sessions hosted in Zoom Events.

Digital storytelling takes the ancient and traditional part of oral storytelling and involves a set of digital and multimodal literacy practices to create engaging, meaningful and purposeful stories. It is an incredibly powerful way to teach 21st century skills, foster creativity and empathy, transform perspectives, and encourage reflection on learning and life processes. This webinar will provide an overview of the 7 steps of digital storytelling and look at the many benefits for students’ language learning progress. The presenter will also be sharing activity ideas that teachers can implement in the EFL classroom to improve students’ speaking, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills with the use of technological tools that are readily available as well as user-friendly. Come and experience the transformative power of digital storytelling!
