✅Audience

English teachers, teachers- to-be , Heads of school and English institutes, private teachers.

✅Description

Revision time arrives.How do you usually check grammar / vocabulary /topics with your students? Do you feel they are engaged ? Would you like them to take a more active part in the revision but are afraid of playing games with them because they can be disruptive?

For years , playing games in class has proved to be highly motivational . However, some teachers feel they involve too much preparation and/ or do not necessarily help students learn or revise. A new concept to make sure your students have really learnt is GAMIFICATION , which is the addition of game elements to non-game activities.

This workshop will provide teachers with some insight and useful material to use zero and low or high -tech resources as well as making a clear difference between competitive, non-competitive, collaborative and socio- dramatic games.
