In this workshop, free websites, web 2.0 applications and apps for (mobile) language teaching are presented. The main focus lies on simplicity of the internet tools to be used (focus on didactics not on technology). Teachers are provided with a selection of applications and will be equipped for the digital jungle. Basic computer skills are required.

L112 - Just Listen and Read? · How to give young language learners age-appropriate input.

The purpose of this seminar is to spice up regular EFL classes through age-appropriate and gripping reading materials. The games and activities described serve as an addition to coursebooks in order to breathe some life into them. The emphasis is on interaction and communication, trying to boost the learners‘ confidence and break the ice, so as to make them confident users of L2. Above all, the suggested activities will provide learners with a natural incentive to speak and give them ample leeway to practise and experiment with the target language

L905 - Getting Back on Track · Motivating tricks and brush up techniques for the new school year

The main emphasis will be on our own speaking abilities. There will be sufficient input of ideas and speaking activities, which can also be done in the class at different levels. We will indulge in small talk on various topics, express personal opinion on current topics, exchange practical tasks used in today’s English classroom and enjoy outdoor and indoor activities to motivate pupils to talk. ”Learning by Doing” is our motto, and it will be shown how very little preparation is required: minimum input, maximum output!
