Using Film to Motivate and Teach Teens and Adults
Tapping into the interests and passions of our learners is half the motivation battle won, and it is a rare learner of any age who does not like films! Moreover, we live in a world of audio-visual entertainment and education more than ever before, thanks to the internet and popularity of video. This session shows ways of finding and using free film clips – effectively and meaningfully – for all levels, topics and language needs, to support language teaching and the development of communication skills. This workshop will really help to bring your lessons to life and engage your students. 60 mins workshop |
Laugh and Learn!
Amusing others with the things we say and the jokes we know, shows the amazing beauty and creativity of language. Humour connects us and relaxes us, and so its simple inclusion in some of our lessons can go a long way to motivate learners, making new and existing language memorable and fun. This session provides activities, jokes and stories you can use with teens and adults, whilst teaching and practising grammar, vocabulary, idioms and even the sounds of English. It looks at finding and using suitable materials, and keep the humour relevant to the level and culture of your classes. 60 mins workshop |
