Plenary & workshops description Open Plenary: Putting on the ‘grammar goggles’: helping students notice patterns.

By Matthew Ellman Just about every English coursebook divides grammar into easy-to-digest chunks to help students notice and learn them. But it’s the ability to go beyond these and notice other grammatical patterns that will allow students to keep adding to their grammar knowledge outside classes. In this session we’ll practise putting on our ‘grammar goggles’ to look at some grammar chunks that may have been hiding in plain sight and see how we can help our students to do the same thing!

Workshop A: Help your students fulfil their potential: focus on Use of English

By Charles Bauch The workshop will propose strategies for helping students realise their full potential, by activating passive language knowledge in the process of developing their use of English competences. For this purpose, we will look at a selection of relevant competences tested in the Cambridge English Qualifications on levels B1 to C1, and suggest activity flows within a scaffolded approach. The participants will try out activities that they can use in order to develop such language skills, whether they do so in the Cambridge English exam preparation, or within their regular English course.

Workshop B: Creativity in the English classroom.

By FH-Prof.in Mag.a Dr.in Andrea Zimpernik & Barry Jenkins, BSc (Hons) It is a hands-on workshop where we will look at new and fun means of engaging students to help them learn. This will include many modern teaching techniques that take advantage of multiple intelligences such as audio, visual and kinesthetic exercises to involve all areas of the brain and body in effective teaching in the classroom.

Closing Plenary: Motivating the Motivated

By Olha Madylus Learners come to English lessons already motivated, so we don’t need to worry about motivating them.’ Is that true or not? Do we, as teachers of English to adults, have to worry about how we impact on the motivation of the class or individual students in our lessons? This presentation explores the different types of motivation: long-term versus short-term, extrinsic versus intrinsic, instrumental versus emotional and what it is to feel successful at English and why that matters!
