Apraksts:

Registration (30 min) “21st Century Skills” (60 min) 21st century learners need a skill set capable of meeting the constantly changing demands of modern life. These skills are not only linguistic, but include a range of cognitive and practical tools that will help learners communicate, collaborate and use the resources available to them creatively, critically and effectively. Break (15 min) “The Power of Play: Developing Language through Play” (60 min) Play is the most natural teaching tool there is and its purpose is to help the young prepare for adult life. It allows language learners to experience and experiment with language in a context that is safe and in a format they can understand. By integrating games into our classrooms, we increase students’ motivation, activate their bodies to permit kinesthetic learning, and develop their social skills by teaching students the value of effective collaboration. Games can be used to revive a lethargic classroom by providing opportunities for recently learned words and language structures to be reviewed in a fun way. Structured play in the classroom is not time-off from learning – it ensures that learning happens. “Turning reluctant learners into enthusiastic ones” (30 min) During this presentation, we will demonstrate some of the possibilities that the digital versions of course material and the corresponding online platforms can provide for schools, students and teachers. We will demonstrate some of the basic functions and look at how they can make language learning flexible and organised for students at all levels, from beginners onwards.
