Anotace workshopů:

Speak, Talk, Communicate

(Judita Tóthová)

Getting students to speak in class might be the most challenging task many teachers face. When it comes to speaking, students usually have nothing to say and pretend to be invisible. Hoping for a magic stick to loosen students’ tongues and boost their confidence is just wishful thinking. A pinch of theory and a huge peck of practice is needed so that students can enrich their speaking experience. During the workshop, you will be introduced to tips and activities which will facilitate your preparation for speaking and conversational lessons.

Business English - Teaching is not enough!

(Navot Laufer)

When we get down to business, vocabulary and grammar, listening and speaking skills are essential but not enough. They must be combined with business skills such as participating in meetings, giving presentations or negotiations. Task-based learning and role play are effective techniques to ‘put it all together’. First and foremost, the teacher needs to set a task and create a safe environment for students to practise business skills in class and then provide genuine feedback on their performance.

In this workshop, we will explore these techniques and do our best to get the best deal. 

Anotace semináře:

Formative Assessment – a Process Rather than a Tool

(Danka Sekerková)

This seminar examines the formative function of assessment—assessment for learning and the self-development of learners, which complements the basic summative function of assessment. This new trend in education puts emphases on self-check and the self-assessment of learners and helps them become independent and responsible for their process of learning. Learners become owners of their learning while teachers play the role of tutors and facilitators of learning, providing students with information and tools they need to master English language.
