Abstract:
“Practical English Teaching Tips and Tools”
Teachers frequently find themselves short on time and with the need to spice up the standard array of classroom activities. This presentation aims to introduce a wide variety of activities that are easy to implement, enjoyable, and have positive learning outcomes. While the primary focus of these activities is on the elementary school level, many of them are also applicable at more advanced levels. It will cover things such as worksheet creation, creative ways of teaching vocabulary, crafting activities that assist in the review process, a variety of ways to teach the alphabet, and activities to use when storytelling and role-playing.
