"How to develop higher order thinking skills with your teenagers", presenter dr
Monika Cichmińska
One of the most challenging questions that we, teachers, have to answer is what progress really is and how we can measure it. Does progress mean knowing more words or more grammatical constructions, or does it mean knowing how to use these linguistic resources – and to use them how, in what kind of tasks? According to research, if students are to make progress, they need to be able to use whatever knowledge they know in more and more complex tasks – to develop both cognitively and linguistically. Bloom’s Taxonomy is a useful way of classifying different outcomes and skills that we want our students to possess.
In the session we will first have a look at the original Taxonomy and its revised version. Then I will guide you through useful strategies and practical ideas on how to develop higher order thinking skills in the English classroom – with the help of a coursebook and without it.
16:05 – 17:05
"Drill with a thrill in a teenage language classroom", presenter dr
Grzegorz Spiewak
A super practical session inspired by modern science of learning. A toolbox of tried-and-tested ideas, tricks and novel exercise types that will maximize your learners’ engagement, with little or zero preparation on your part!
If your language learners are anything like mine, they are probably not much thrilled by revision and practice activities, even though deep down they may feel they are useful to them.
Revision exercises – despite their potential benefits – can easily become mechanical, monotonous, and, let’s be honest, plain boring. And yet virtually all current science of learning confirms that sensible, well planned revision & practice activities are essential to students’ long-term success. The question is how to truly motivate learners to engage in them, adding (quite a bit of) ‘thrill’ to the process?
That’s where this super practical webinar comes in. Come along to try out lots of tried-and-tested revision activity types which will surprise, amuse, and genuinely engage your learners big and small. Crucially, virtually all these activities require little or no preparation on your part, and instead make your learners work a lot harder and a lot more effectively. Come along to find out how it can all be done behind your classroom doors, starting the very next day.
