Motivating students: a 10-step guide – a webinar by Hugh Dellar
Dear Colleagues,
IATEFL Poland and Hugh Dellar, teacher, trainer, and materials writer,
have the pleasure to invite you to the webinar:
“Motivating students: a 10-step guide”
which will take place on Wednesday, 31st of July 2024, from 20.30 to 21.30 CET.
Summary:
Keeping students interested in the learning process is one of the biggest challenges we face. In this talk, I will explore eight practical ways of ensuring motivation levels stay high. We will consider the importance of listening – and talking – to your students and of engaging in real, meaningful communication; we’ll discuss the importance of teaching first and foremost language that is useful (and we will consider what this might mean!); we’ll move on to look at what it means to teach the class first and the coursebook second – and learn how (and why!) to correct through reformulation of whole language. Finally, I will be suggesting that the key to motivation may well lie in worrying less about topics – and more about language.
During the webinar all participants will be provided with a certificate of participation, which they will be able to download.
IATEFL Poland members have priority of registration for this webinar.
Do not delay. The number of participants is limited.
