Speaker: Paul Rosengrave and Katherine MacKay

The first part of this evening overviews high-interest, relevant activities, designed for a false – high beginner class, illustrated by materials drawn from new Longman materials. The second part of this evening addresses motivation. As English teachers of children, we all experience the fun of teaching young and very young learners but we also know the challenges of creating and keeping motivation and interest. In this workshop we will explore the currentteaching approaches of teaching children through discovery of language, multi-sensory involvement and multi-learning styles. We will uncover how we can inspire and transport our children into a magical realm of storybooks and games, transforming words and dialogues into songs,rhymes, chants, helping our young learners master the art of speaking and remembering English.
Afterwards, all are invited to the annual bonenkai (end of year party) at Bintan Bali, an Indonesian restuarant.
