Lights, Camera, Action – ensuring successful speaking activities in the classroom

Martedì 21 marzo | 17:00 – 18:00 | EVENTO CONCLUSO

Getting students to successfully complete speaking tasks in the English language classroom can be a challenge.

But are we giving them everything they need to be successful? Do they even know what success looks like?

Using examples from National Geographic Learning’s New Close-up series, in this session we’ll look at six ways in which we can help learners complete speaking tasks as successfully as possible.

Teaching Grammar in Context

Martedì 7 marzo | 17:00 – 18:00 | EVENTO CONCLUSO

Grammar has a bad reputation. For most students simply the mention of the word ‘grammar’ is enough to get them to switch off even before the lesson has begun.

Teachers, for all their efforts, are then dragged into the students expectations of how grammar lessons should be – boring, passive and unengaging.

But teaching grammar doesn’t have to be this way, it doesn’t have to be the painful experience that it often is.

With examples from National Geographic Learning’s New Close-up series, in this webinar we’ll explore how we can teach grammar effectively through context and in doing so help bring grammar to life.

I mille compiti dell’insegnante di inglese

Martedì 21 febbraio | 17:00 – 18:00 | EVENTO CONCLUSO

Educazione Civica, Clil, Soft skills, Debate, Agenda 2030, Invalsi… Nel 2023, al docente e alla docente di lingua viene chiesto di affrontare un numero altissimo di tematiche e svolgere una quantità di attività inimmaginabili fino a pochi anni fa.

Il monte ore settimanale però è rimasto lo stesso. Dunque come portare avanti un insegnamento di qualità e venire incontro alle tante richieste del mondo di oggi e del Ministero?

Come catturare l’attenzione della classe, assolvere ai nuovi compiti affidati ai e alle docenti e non abbassare il livello delle lezioni?

Nel webinar verranno presentati alcuni spunti e idee per affrontare il lavoro con efficacia e serenità.

Alcune idee per gestire la lezione di lingua inglese in classi con livelli diversi di abilità linguistiche

Mercoledì 16 novembre ore 17:00 – 17:00 – EVENTO CONCLUSO

Una delle più grandi sfide che i docenti di lingue straniere devono affrontare ogni giorno è l’organizzazione del lavoro con studenti che presentano competenze e abilità linguistiche di livelli molto diversi nella stessa classe. Riuscire a gestire efficacemente questa complessità vuol dire anche intervenire sulla motivazione e sul successo scolastico. In questo ambito, il libro di testo può essere un prezioso alleato sia per gli insegnanti che per gli studenti, qualunque sia la metodologia didattica adottata. Nel webinar saranno presentate alcune idee di facile applicazione.

Powering The Classroom Through Ideas
The role of the teacher is multi-faceted – not only do we have the responsibility of developing our learners’ language knowledge and skills, but also the cognitive, social and interpersonal skills they need to in order to be successful in school, work and life in the 21st century. Not least amongst these is the need to get our learners to start thinking for themselves and asking questions, rather than being spoon-fed. With examples from National Geographic Learning’s Perspectives series, in this session I’ll show how we can incorporate visible thinking routines into our lessons to not only Getting students talking and actively engaged in classroom discussions isn’t always the easiest thing. So how can we facilitate this? How can we stimulate them to actually think, ask questions and have opinions? Using examples from National Geographic Learning’s Perspectives series, in this presentation we’ll show how using authentic content and the ideas they bring can help power discussion, critical thinking and creativity in the ELT classroom.

The Magic of Words – enhancing effective and efficient vocabulary teaching and learning

Speaker: Alex Warren

There are a great many number of principles to consider when maximising vocabulary learning: the need to give it deliberate attention; the need to show how words do not exist in isolation, but in partnerships and the need for learners to work out meaning for themselves and to take ownership of newly learnt vocabulary. In this hands-on session I’ll explore how National Geographic Learning titles exploit these different principles to help speed up vocabulary learning and develop greater language awareness.

Sleep, Eat, Repeat – The power of repetition in the ELT classroom

Speaker: Alex Warren

Throughout the ages repetition has long been seen as a key component of education, especially language learning – practice makes perfect after all. However, for many students repeating the same thing again and again seems like the most boring thing in the world; while for some teachers it represents the antithesis of what learning a language should be. The question, therefore, is how can we bring these two opposing views together and make repetition not seem like repetition? Using examples from National Geographic Learning’s Life and Perspectives series, in this session we’ll start by briefly exploring why repetition is so important in helping students become more confident, fluent and accurate speakers. We’ll then look at a number of practical classroom ideas of how to take the monotony and boredom out of repeating the same task numerous times in a bid to build spoken proficiency.
