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
Spoilt for Choice? The ocean of ELT materials and pathways for selection
In the 20th century the proliferation of published material left little that ELT teach-ers could wish for and they couldn’t find. In the recent years it takes a village to create a material’s package consisting of several digital and paper-based compo-nents. How can Academic Managers and English language teachers make wise choices? Have we become creatures of habit and we go around our comfort zone, without ever daring to explore the different material that is out there, for fear it is.
Effective Ways to Engage Students in Learning
At an age when there are more distractions than ever before, educating oneself sounds more of a burden than a task that learners would be motivated to embrace. This talk will deign to offer some practical ways to pave the teachers' path toward making learning for students motivating and helping them retain the motivation.
Unraveling the mystery of the classroom-based assessment
Assessment- Evaluation- Testing; three key terms that cause confusion to the teachers. During this session, we will explore the main differences among them; however the main focus of the presentation will be on assessment.
The use of online tools to enhance the students' learning experience
Online teaching has definitely come in handy in the Corona virus times...Teachers resorted to all kinds of platforms, online tools and webinars in order to find ways to make their lessons more appealing. However, even though many teachers considered this type of lessons to be uninspiring, boring or even challenging, others who were more tech savvy, seemed to thrive in delivering online courses during the quarantine and their students claim that their online sessions were far more engaging than live lessons.

The use of online tools to enhance the students' learning experience
Eleni Tzaikou, Language School Director & Owner
Online teaching has definitely come in handy in the Corona virus times...Teachers resorted to all kinds of platforms, online tools and webinars in order to find ways to make their lessons more appealing. However, even though many teachers considered this type of lessons to be uninspiring, boring or even challenging, others who were more tech savvy, seemed to thrive in delivering online courses during the quarantine and their students claim that their online sessions were far more engaging than live lessons. In this session I am going to be discussing some of the following issues:
- What is it that made some teachers' lessons appealing and inspiring?
- What tools did they use that made their lessons stand out ?
- What can we do to spice up our online lessons?
- Which practices guarantee results in the learning process?
- What are the challenges and how can we overcome them?
- I am going to present the challenges that I myself initially confronted and the ways I used to overcome them along with a number of tricks and tools that helped me enhance my students' learning experience.
