The Art of Speaking
Katarzyna WiÄ…cek
Summary
Different forms of art have been created by people since the early times. Although paintings are not seen as a tool for survival and they are often misunderstood by many, museums are still frequented by thousands of visitors and some works of art are sold for exorbitant prices. If this is so, why not use the phenomenon of paintings and incorporate them in our teaching? During my session participants will - learn how to use paintings to develop speaking - learn how to expose students to famous works of art without them noticing that - get to know a set of simple and adaptable tasks which could be used with different kinds of visual material
Biodata
My childhood dream came true 19 years ago when I started teaching English. Since then I have taught teenagers and adults, beginner and advanced levels. A few years ago I started to run workshops for teachers and write teaching materials. I try to use simple yet engaging methods to motivate my students. As I still seek new challenges apart from teaching I run my own website www.katarzynawiacek.pl where I share ideas and materials for lessons. In my free time I love reading books and learning Spanish.
