Presentation: Teaching the Whole Student
Cultivating a positive mindset, learning to grow from failure and developing a sense of self are just some of the crucial skills our students need, particularly in these challenging times. In this talk, I will be looking at how we can use our unique position as language teachers to encourage our students both to study well and to live well. |

Presentation: A Close-Up on Project-Based Learning
It’s a given that, as teachers, we are preparing learners today for real life situations in a fast-paced, ever-changing world – and, let’s face it, that’s a tough gig! This talk will focus on implementing PBLL, a combination between PBL and CLIL, as a bundle of learning strategies which engage students in a 360o growth process. The New Close-Up coursebook series fits in as a perfect tool for connecting common core requirements with modern learning strategies. |
