Second Annual International Foreign Languages Teachers Forum 14 - 15 March, 2016

This is ceratinly an event to remember!

 

Thank you to the Alekom team for this wonderful opportunity to get some new teaching experience from the acknowledged professionals of different countries - Great Britain, the USA and Canada.

I am sending my greatest thanks to the following people who presented their best:

Catherine Wadell (Thompson Rivers University)
Topic: Maximize Learning and Motivation
 Through Program Design

Mark Ian Cook (LaL Language Centers)
Topic: Using Video in the Classroom

Dylan Coward (IP Interbational Projects)
Topic: Warming Up Activities

Linda Azzopardi (Club Class Malta - London)
Topic: Using Dictation in the ELT Classroom

Jonny Wicken (Oxford Internationl Education Group)

Topic: Language for Life - Generating Ideas

Michael Lariccia (FLS International)
Topic: Advantages of Second Language
Learning in Authentic Environments

These were the most productive and fruitful days of this spring by far offering not only great time to communicate with ELT representatives during the classes but also after them, discussing questions everyone was interested in on personal meetings. These included methodological points, advantages of visiting language schools for two or three weeks in summer and some pronunciation aspects (Thank you Mark Ian Cook for clearing some questions up about Manchester dialect).
