We'll be attending the following events, come say hello at our stand! We will also be delivering talks at some of these conferences:
Great teaching starts with great lesson design. But how can you plan effective lessons quickly and easily? In this session, we'll go through the whole lesson design process for a young learner class, from learning aims, to materials and activity selection, through to consideration of feedback and tailored follow-up. You’ll learn what to prioritise so that your learners always leave their lessons better than when they arrived!
Effective feedback is one of the most powerful tools for improving student outcomes, yet not all feedback leads to meaningful progress. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to provide actionable feedback that empowers secondary learners to take ownership of their learning and make measurable improvements. You’ll learn practical strategies for crafting feedback that is clear, specific, and focused on next steps. - Feedback that doesn’t just evaluate but actively moves learning forward. We’ll also discuss managing feedback in large classes and how to avoid feedback that overwhelms or disengages students. By the end of this session, you’ll have a toolkit of evidence-based approaches to transform feedback into a catalyst for growth in your classroom.
Clear communication, active listening, and being confident in discussions are all indicators of strong oracy skills. They’re not just valuable in the classroom; they’re essential for success in life and work.
So how do we help our learners build these skills? In this session, we’ll look at practical ways to make oracy a regular, purposeful part of English lessons. You’ll discover classroom activities that nurture learners’ physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development while strengthening their ability to speak and listen effectively. We’ll also explore how integrated learning and assessment and problem-based learning can work together to support oracy, and share actionable strategies you can start using right away.
Helping learners succeed in writing at C1 Advanced level requires more than just teaching language - it involves understanding what examiners look for and how to guide students toward meeting those expectations. We’ll examine the key assessment scales and look at what they mean in practice. Using real sample answers and examiner comments, we’ll analyse what makes a strong response. You will gain insights into how to apply these criteria consistently when marking, and how to give constructive feedback that helps learners improve.
