Workshop: Discover how diagrams can support all four core language skills through practical, classroom-ready visual tools.
Explore:
- Flowcharts for writing
- Venn diagrams for speaking

Game Boards for Project-based Learning and Assessment using UDL in Public Schools and Universities
Workshop for Teachers from Elementary to University
How can a simple game board become a long-term project, language-learning tool, and authentic assessment?
Join Kristina for a practical workshop exploring how student-created board games can transform EFL classrooms through Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Discover how students can:
- Design their own English-language board games
- Use speaking, listening, reading, and writing through gameplay
- Incorporate vocabulary, grammar, and communicative tasks from your curriculum
- Collaborate through meaningful roles and peer interaction
- Develop creativity, critical thinking, and learner autonomy
- Use UDL-based scaffolds to support multilingual and neurodiverse learners
- Assess both the learning process and final product with practical rubrics
FROM CLASSROOM PROJECT TO GAME DAY
See how students can build a game over several weeks, test and refine it with their peers, and finish with a gameplay showcase and performance-based assessment.
You’ll leave with adaptable templates, assessment ideas, and practical strategies you can take straight into your own classroom.
One project. Multiple language skills. Meaningful communication. Authentic assessment.
Come ready to play, create, and rethink what assessment can look like!
Learn. Participate. Take Away Practical Ideas.
Whether you teach preschool, elementary, secondary, university, or adult learners, come connect with fellow educators and discover strategies you can put into practice immediately.
Come for the workshops. Leave with ideas you can use Monday morning!
