Stills and stories
Picture students imagining themselves out and about, outside the classroom. Picture students feeling comfortable, uninhibited talking about themselves. Picture your students through others’ eyes, through their own eyes or in selfies, then turn those pictures into non-intrusive, creative, productive, fun activities that uncover language, and inspire great descriptions and stories.
Melting barriers: teaching teens with adolescence in mind
Teaching teens can be stressful; that’s something we all know. But being a teen is stressful, too, and learning or speaking a ‘funny’ language can be the most stressful thing of all. If you push a teen too far out of their comfort zone, the learning stops, the resistance starts, so how to break through the barrier? In this highly interactive workshop, we’ll try out some activities that avoid triggering resistance and maximise learning and engagement. We’ll look at support and prompts that motivate and generate, and we’ll work our way into the teenage brain and help the learning stay there.
