Harnessing AI to rethink lesson planning in ELT:

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is unlocking new possibilities for English language teaching. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how AI can become a powerful ally in lesson planning while saving time, enhancing creativity, and supporting more personalized learning experiences.

We will examine how to leverage Pearson resources to generate engaging materials tailored to our students' needs to design meaningful, relevant, and future-ready English lessons.

Storytelling with Young Learners: a tool to enhance the teaching learning process

Sharing stories with very young learners is a great way to spend time together. This shared social experience is a tremendously beneficial activity as it not only sparks the imagination of children but also helps promote language and brain development and a positive attitude towards foreign language learning.

In this TALK, we are going to discuss how we can use stories with young learners in an EFL context taking them as an enjoyable starting point for a wide variety of language related activities.

Set your Mind into Mental Lesson Planning

Lesson planning does not always occur before we teach. Sometimes it is simultaneous to action in the classroom, resulting in a plan that is being made while we teach. How can the lesson plan be constructed in the mind on the go? What tools can help us visualize the steps ahead as the lesson flows? Join this workshop to visualize your lessons and train your thinking.
