TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)

Andrea Littlewood BA, RSA DELTA is Head of Young Learners at Hyland Language Centre, Madrid

In this practical workshop we’ll be considering steps we can take to help our young learners develop the confidence and ability to speak. By exposing them to language in context, providing a variety of suitable activities to encourage practice and using motivating material from their world we can ensure that the steps will be in the right direction.

How many times have you heard your students say something similar? Faced with the same ‘language areas’ year after year, how do we show our students that they are learning new things? This session will look at ways of using your course book to ensure that students get that extra challenge and at how you can make them aware of the progress they are making.

In this session we will look at different practical and low-preparation techniques which will help you turn your coursebook material into a game. These techniques will not only make your classes more fun but they will also make the language in question more memorable for your students.
