內容摘要:
In order to motivate children to learn a foreign language, we need to arouse their natural curiosity and give them tasks which quickly enable them to use new skills. Young learners can begin to develop critical thinking skills which enable them to analyze and process content rather than learn by rote. In my presentation, I will look at ways we can motivate children to learn English by giving them accomplishable tasks and realistic aims using a variety of ELT activities from the Gateway series by Garnet Education.

內容摘要:
Do we sometimes have trouble getting our adult learners to improve speaking fluency? Are they sometimes reluctant just to have a go at speaking? This workshop will look at how we can make our students’ learning memorable so that their confidence in the classroom can be boosted to participate in more speaking activities and because of that they can use English to communicate in their real lives.

內容摘要:
Critical thinking is often seen as involving logic & reason. Creative thinking is seen as involving imagination & originality. How can we help students move between and synthesize the two through our daily teaching practice? How can our teaching impact these modes of thinking in courses for low confidence or beginning students? Utilizing a content-rich approach to learning, the presenter will explore these areas through practical classroom activities and a focus on multimedia.
