Did the cat get your tongue?
(ESO & Bachillerato) This workshop will reflect on what we do in the classroom and try to deal with some of the problems that we encounter when we want to focus on speaking, and their possible solutions. We’ll also look at how to set up activities in order to get the most out of our students, how to create communicative activities and the general principles behind this skill. Our objective is to try and make our speaking lessons more dynamic – difficult but we’ll try!

Session 2
Using arts & crafts in the English language classroom can provide a very powerful tool for learning and getting children to speak. In this hands-on talk, examples of art and crafts activities, which allow us to explore these benefits, will be demonstrated. We will also consider some useful strategies to make the most of children’s artistic creations. Some practical activities, which can easily be adapted and used in any Infant and Primary classroom, will be presented.

ROOM 3
This session shows how a well-managed, whole-child approach to storytelling and drama develops pupils’ potential for creativity and helps them to become confident communicators in English. We will use an integrated combination of multisensory techniques and digital resources to explore ways to engage children in relevant issues and to link learning English to authentic culture and real content. We will also explore the role of storytelling and drama in developing positive values in today’s world.
Session 2

Part of her duties are finding ICT resources for foreign language classrooms and disseminating them amongst teachers.
Language learning requires many forms of interaction in which communication and collaboration with others is essential. By engaging in collaborative learning, students not only get to interact with others on a common task, but they also get to pool and capitalise on one another’s knowledge and skills. Collaborative learning techniques can help us build teams and contribute to a positive learning environment in which students thrive, gain confidence and develop as individuals. In this session, a range of collaborative learning techniques to create a positive learning environment will be demonstrated.

I am a firm believer that a language cannot be taught. As teachers, we can only create an environment in which it can be learned, and build pupil-teacher relationships which stimulate learning. This session looks at practical hints, tips, Games and techniques on how to make learning English a pleasurable experience for your pupils. Many of these ideas will also lighten your workload and help you come up with your own techniques.

Nowadays, it’s a difficult task engaging our digital natives. By using Web 2.0 tools to captivate our 21st century learners, the aim is to engage them in tasks which enable them to be creative, active learners. English has to be used as a means of communicating and by integrating collaborative tools, students are able to create and share their work with others within their class, school or around the globe!
