Making 21st century reading more accessible for learners In this session we will establish the differences between skills and strategies and decide why this distinction is so important when considering print v online reading. We will discuss the importance of reading and think about how students can gain access to reading in the modern digital world. By participating in a reading activity, there will be an opportunity for teachers to discuss the differences between online and print reading, to think about online text validity, and agree on the key characteristics of each. Time will be dedicated to looking at five reading activities that involve learners in doing more than just surface reading. |
Workshop
Active listening: engaging students using five frames
In this session, we will investigate the five frames of Active Listening (Rost and Wilson, 2013), with a particular emphasis on Top Down and Bottom Up frames. Examples of listening tasks from various Cambridge coursebooks will be shown, along with tips and techniques of how to help students to improve their listening strategies through overcoming the difficulties that they face with listening. Supplementary activities to encourage active listening in interaction, such as backchannelling and repair strategies, will also be introduced. | |

Workshop The Young Learner Exam Journey Assessment is something which young learners experience throughout their educational journey, and Cambridge English Qualifications (CEQs) for Young Learners have been designed to help them become familiar and confident with this process. This workshop will provide an overview of the CEQs for young learners, the relevance of the skills assessed, and give some practical insight and tips on how to prepare your learners for the exam using Cambridge products. |
Workshop Giving Effective and Meaningful Feedback on Writing at B1 Level Assessing writing is an area which often raises questions for teachers. What should teachers give feedback on? What strengths and weaknesses should be highlighted and addressed? To what extent could over-correction have a negative impact on learner motivation? This workshop will examine how writing tasks for Cambridge English Qualifications are assessed and how this can be used to inform your assessment of writing tasks which are not related to exam preparation and as a consequence allow your learners to become more effective and motivated writers. |
