Synchronous (Onsite) Developing Teacher-Student Collaboration across subjects in English in the classroom more
Sat, Apr 29, 14:00-14:50 Asia/Seoul
Many students are not motivated to learn English because they do not see its value nor relevance to their lives or future endeavors. Although they have strong grammar or vocabulary competence, they barely practice their English. In Asia, the challenge is building a teacher-student relationship so that students can relate to other subjects they have learnt and apply it to communicate with people from around the world in English. How can educators develop a conducive environment to help students socialize in English outside the classroom? In this interactive workshop, the participants explore practical lesson ideas that can stimulate self-reflection on teaching practices through creative and critical thinking.
