Про семінар

Most of us will agree that a pinch of personalisation is an important ingredient in a successful, modern foreign language programme. Drawing on our students' experiences as the context for language learning helps facilitate social interaction, encourages memorisation, and allows space for empathy and creativity in our classrooms. However, a student-led approach is not without its challenges, so in this practical and informative session we will look at how to avoid common pitfalls while drawing on our students' individual experiences as a context for exploring new language. The session will be informed by ideas and activities from Pearson's new upper-secondary course, High Note, which was co-authored by the presenter.
