Our most recent webinar:
Paraphrasing skills: the key to achieving higher grades in exams

Speaker: Andrea Borsato
Summary: In this webinar I discuss how paraphrasing skills are essential to achieve high grades in English exams such as IELTS or the Cambridge main suite. I provide a series of activities, such as card matching, card categorisation and sentence transformation, which I have devised and experimented with in the classroom. Some of them raise students’ awareness of how paraphrasing is used in reading and listening testing. Others develop students’ ability to employ paraphrasing in speaking and writing, by showing them how to use synonyms, different parts of speech and a range of sentence structures.

Insights from counselling to enhance your teaching
Speaker: Lewis Richards

SummaryThis webinar looks at a series of insights from the world of counselling that can be brought into teaching (and managing). It takes some theoretical and practical ideas from psychotherapy, and shows how these can be used to enhance classroom practice and classroom management, to develop strategies for working with students on a 1-1 basis, and to be better able to understand and work with learners of a variety of backgrounds, learning styles and attachment patterns. These are explored using a series of case studies taken from the presenter's own teaching experience, and the session aims to provide a series of practical take-aways that can be used in everyday teaching practice and in relationships with colleagues.
