International Conference 2017

No-Tech, Low-Tech, Active Teaching

.
How can we encourage our young learners to use English meaningfully? In what ways can we develop the 21st century skills our students need to be successful both now and in the future? What strategies can be used to create active lessons that motivate today's young learners?  Using low-tech or no-tech methodologies, Kathleen Kampa will lead participants through a variety of fun-filled activities that challenge students to think deeply about information, make connections, work together, and solve problems creatively.

Invited Second Session

Creating a Classroom of Success Through Music and Movement

.
Young learners often enjoy learning English through songs, chants, and movement. Perhaps you've sung "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" with your students. Music and movement have the potential to help you and your students in many ways, creating a classroom of success. Discover how music and movement are vital to the young learner classroom. Learn the best ways to use music and movement effectively throughout your lessons. Experience brain-friendly strategies for success, and explore ways to nurture your students' imaginations, creativity, and critical thinking. In this fun-filled, action-packed workshop, Kathleen will share effective strategies along with a variety of chants, songs, and movement activities that you can use right away in your classroom.  Some examples will be shared from Kathy's music for children, including Jump Jump Everyone and Kathy Kampa's Special Days and Holidays.
