ELTAF Webinar (Zoom): Creative Speaking Activities for Effective Communication with Jon Wright
Recent events have forced all teachers to think about things that we took for granted in the ‘normal’ classroom: pair and groupwork, monitoring student performance, and how to set up and use activities to encourage active participation in learning in particular.
Our session will look at some innovative practical activities that can be used online and in the classroom. The activities are designed to promote original thinking and at the same time boost problem-solving skills, which are key elements in encouraging learners of all levels to be creative when they speak.
We will also explore ways of ensuring that pairwork and groupwork are both engaging and effective so learners and teachers know how to measure the success of communicative speaking activities.
