WORKSHOP 1
CRITICAL LITERACY IN ELT: EDUCATION FOR GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP
In order to help teachers understand the importance of Global Issues and perspectives in the ELT classroom, and help them
incorporate this new "vision" in their everyday lessons, in this workshop we will discuss how we can shift our focus from our
traditional perspective, to a Global perspective, without adding loads of work and stress to our lesson planning and discuss the
importance and the implications of enabling our students to look at global issues critically from different perspectives.
WORKSHOP 2
DEMISTIFYING CLIL
CLIL is one of the buzz words in ELT these days, but, what is it? In this workshop, teachers will discuss the central features of CLIL
and the demands it makes on schools, teachers and teaching materials. They will also be able to revise the most commonly used
strategies and the structure of a CLIL lesson while they follow a teaching sequence based on CLIL principles.

WORKSHOP 1
ENCOURAGING CLASS PARTICIPATION THROUGH CREATIVE PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES
As English Teachers, our work plays an important role in the development of our learner’s strategies. However, some of our students
do not show much interest despite all our efforts. We need to make our classes more varied and creative as a means to keep our
students motivated and always willing to learn. In this workshop, we will develop several activities which will provide you with an
important battery of material and tips.
WORKSHOP 2
ON THE WAY TO TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES
Technology is all around us and we have to be up-to-date with all these changes. We will have the chance to see how technology
becomes our ´friend´ in the classroom and how we can use it to make our classes more communicative and attractive to our digital-
native students.

WORKSHOP 1
BEYOND FOUR SKILLS – CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING
Skills development certainly is an important factor when teaching a second language, however a globalized world demands going
beyond language which will be used for social purposes. It also demands being prepared for dealing with academic content in
competitive academic settings. In this context, it is vital to help students develop skills which will help them succeed in life, such as,
critical thinking skills, transferable academic skills, and others. How can we achieve this? By incorporating content in the language
classroom.
In this workshop we will explore how both, Content and Language can be integrated for effective learning.
WORKSHOP 2
THE ARTS AND ENGLISH TEACHING TO YOUNG LEARNERS
Teaching English to young learners varies in many ways from teaching adults. One of the major differences arises from the course
design and the kind of tasks and activities covered in the books. More varieties of activities are needed to be used in the classroom in
order to teach young learners and make the lesson an attractive process as well as making learning effective by making use of various
intelligences and engaging different competences in the process of learning.
In this workshop we will analyze the benefits of incorporating the arts in the English classroom and come out with some great ideas to
use with young learners.

WORKSHOP 1
LOTS vs. HOTS
This session will help teachers to foster higher and lower order thinking skills among students of all ages which are considered an
important educational goal. Teachers often believe that this important goal is not intended for all students. A common belief among
teachers is that tasks that require higher or lower order thinking skills are appropriate only for high-achieving students, whereas low-
achieving students, who can barely master the basic facts, are unable to deal with such tasks.
WORKSHOP 2
CRITICAL THINKING
Critical thinking is not matter of accumulating information, but the ability to think clearly and rationally.
4. Sometimes it is believed that the thinking of our students will remain "invisible" to them. However, it is not true. It is important to
provide them of vital vocabulary, teach them how to ask good questions and think critically, in order to continue the advancement of
the several fields we are teaching.
Critical thinking involves questioning, organizing, deciding, helping our students make decisions by analyzing and evaluating facts.
Why not to work then, on improving our own critical thinking skills and let our students make more intelligent decisions and be aware
of them?
Let´s all of us discover how to do.

WORKSHOP 1
READING CIRCLES: A MAGIC FORMULA FOR NATURAL, ENJOYABLE DISCUSSIONS IN ENGLISH
The development of fluency in both reading and speaking is at the heart of every teacher’s concern when it comes to working with
readers. Certainly, teaching reading cannot be thought of in terms that are at odds with the broader aims of the Communicative
Approach. The aims are the same: to develop student autonomy, to prioritize meaning, to empower learners and to make them the
protagonists of the learning process. In this 90-minute workshop we will look at a unique proposal for engaging students in a reading
and speaking activity based on the Oxford Bookworms Club Stories for Reading Circles. The activity provides a magic formula for
natural, enjoyable discussions in English, giving teachers a practical solution for the issues of how to use reading as an integral
component of the communicative classroom.
