Words, phrases, texts and memory

Vocabulary and phrases seem to be a crucial resource for active communication in English. However, teachers often struggle with motivating pupils to learn vocabulary at home. This practical session shows simple, fun and useful activities that train young learners´ memory and help to activate and extend their vocabulary within the school lesson time. Activities are best done with pupils frm 6 – 12.

Give Me Five: 5 steps to fluent speaking

Is fluent and natural speaking at primary school level a myth or an achievable goal? What can teachers do to get pupils speak? This workshop introduces five inspirative techniques that enhance fluent speaking. The point is to integrate speaking practice into all parts of English language teaching and to take every opportunity for speaking provided in the coursebook material. The activities are suitable for pupils from 10 – 15.

How to help teens with their speaking - for exams and beyond

Speaking, like any other life skill, needs time and practice to develop. However, as well know it, practice does not always make perfect. Our teenage students may be quite willing to speak, but they will not always be precise and accurate enough to do well in an exam. As current research shows, in order to develop and refine a skill, it is not enough to repeat the same tasks over and over again mindlessly (as is often the case with oral exam tasks). When engaged in a speaking task, students need our feedback, but they also need to be able to monitor themselves and reflect on what they are doing. As always, the question is how. That’s just what I intend to deal with in this session. I’ll argue that we need a clear, well-structured, step-by-step approach, which cares both about micro- and macro-speaking skills, and which develops accuracy and fluency at the same time.

They can use what they can remember ...

The title of the session shows its central hypotheses.
The students´ performance at speaking maturita exam as well as their score of use of English part of maturita test are considered to be a mirror picture of their grammar knowledge and vocabulary. How to facilitate their success? Today, as my experience shows, teachers cannot rely on students´ home study a lot.  Actually, we can only influence their learning during the lessons. Therefore a choice of classroom tasks becomes a key to success. I will introduce a set of activities for developing vocabulary and for practising grammar that are ready-to-use in your classes. They will demonstrate how we can challenge students´ memory and so lead them to better performace.

Gateway to Gateway

Are we giving learners a clear idea of how they use the structure in real-life situations? Martin Jelinek will introduce methodology that emphasises the purposeful, real-life use of grammar, not just the focus on form. We will take a look at a variety of contexts or situations in which the structure can be used and then make the structure more meaningful and therefore easier to understand, produce and retain.

        Keeping their attention

In this workshop we will look at a variety of activities for young learners which help hold their attention through a blend of play, moving around, creating etc. The activities demonstrated in the workshop not only expose YL to the target language in relevant ways, but also help them acquire effective learning strategies and develop their thinking skills..
