Topic: Navigating the Digital World: ELT and Digital Literacy
As technology continues to evolve, it's more important than ever to equip English language learners with the skills they need to navigate the digital world, covering everything from basic IT button pushing skills to sophisticated digital media production, from developing media literacy to the appreciating the ethical implications of online privacy or cybersecurity, from crafting individual email communications to collaborating successfully in a fully remote online team.
This session will explore how fostering digital literacy can help adults and teenage learners develop their digital literacy alongside the language skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities that are essential for their future success in this or any other age.
Anka Zapart, Teacher and Teacher Trainer, VYL and YL Tutor at BKC Moscow.
Topic: Top of the Pops in Primary
The start of a new academic year is a great time to refresh our toolkit of activities, so in this session I am going to share with you my top ten for primary age younger learners from the previous year.These are things I created as well as some old favourites, but all of them are tried and tested and really worked well in my classroom, and hopefully many will be new to you!
I have gone through my treasure chest of ideas and decided to pick out something for a few different areas of our life in the primary classroom: literacy work (but FUN), CLIL, low prep activities, ideas for working with emergent langauge with younger learners and more!
