Featured Presentations
Tests, tests, tests: which one is good for my students?
In a highly competitive exam-prep environment, school owners and teachers get lost as to which test to choose for their students. In this talk, we will critically ex-plore the role of high-stakes exams in our context and set out criteria for choosing the best-suited for our students.
Teaching Grammar Without Teaching Grammar
In this talk, we will explore ways of subtly integrating grammar tasks in all skills. Grammar is present everywhere and there is no language without it. However, teaching Grammar communicatively is often a riddle for teachers. How can we design grammar tasks that are creative and meaningful? How can we teach grammar "in disguise"? Τhe talk will include hands-on examples from soft-CLIL and values-based approaches.
Why me? Why not me? Consumers and the game of choice
Since after World War II, the choices of the consumers have been taken seriously into consideration and the marketing strategies are being drawn based on the factors that attract or deter consumers from making purchases of services or goods. Right now, in the 21st century, the Era when Marketing never stops, the psychology of the consumer and the factors that determine purchasing choices and decisions play a critical role in devising the marketing strategies. In this session we will analyse the basic mechanisms that determine the way consumers make choices and examine how Foreign Language Schools can design their own marketing to attract the attention of the public in order to maximize their total market addressable.
From people to a bonded group: first-day tasks to get students to bond
This session aims to explore the importance of creating rapport not only between teachers and students, but also amongst students. After a short mention of some key theoretical concepts, we will examine practical activities to encourage bonding and emotional learning, while at the same time setting actual teaching aims. Some of the practical activities around the introduction of the Course book of the class as well as "recycled" material.
