WEB TOOLS FROM THE SPRING WORKSHOPS (1)
This year’s Teach. Learn. Update sessions were full of inspiring ideas to start fruitful collaborations, tap into students’ creative skills, making the most of reading and writing, and take students’ communicative skills to a whole new level. We’ve gathered here some of the resources from each workshop, we hope you make the most of them :D,
ORAL PRACTICE TOOLS
Being a 21st century teacher sure is a demanding job, but it’s also infinitely rewarding thanks to the variety of tools you can use to get students to use language in the most natural way, to create contents for your sessions and to engage in a more personal learning environment. Speaking a foreign language can be a very challenging experience for many students who are insecure about their level or have trouble speaking in public regardless of the language. With these resources, you can create opportunities for them to goof around, impersonate a variety of characters or simply talk in a more relaxed, low-stakes situation. Enjoy!
WEB TOOLS FROM APAC’s 2021 ELT CONVENTION
During APAC’s 2021 Convention, Birds Of A Feather Teach Together, the speakers shared loads of webtools and apps to make our teaching more collaborative, participative and fun. We’ve put together the most popular ones in this toolkit so that you can access them easily and use them in your own teaching.
WRITING TOOLS
Writing is a key aspect of literacy. We cannot ignore the fact that our students live in a digital world, hence the need to get them acquainted with digital tools with which to learn new content but also with which to produce better written work whether it is at a beginner level or at a more advanced level. We have gathered a few tools that are easy to introduce in your lesson plans. We hope you find them useful.
RESOURCES FOR HOME LEARNING
APAC’s team has rounded up some great resources you can share with students so that they can live a bit of their days in English, helping them get into the habit of enjoying some of their hobbies or favourite activities in this language. You can also check our webpage and social networks for new resources as more educators, artists, writers and creatives share their expertise and projects with the public.
READING RESOURCES FOR YOUNG LEARNERS
For young learners, being able to read is the gateway to a much richer world in which they can interact with stories and develop their autonomy. As they juggle learning to read in their own first language(s) and in English as an additional language (and perhaps some other languages!), it may come in handy to support their learning at home and in school with some handy apps that develop their understanding of phonics.
