Songs & Chants: The Secret to your Students' Success!
Songs and chants are teachers’ great tools to encourage children’s musical intelligence. Children can manipulate more complex language with more ease by singing and chanting than by speaking. Once children learn the target language, we need to encourage them to use it in different contexts. The secret to the success is to plan activities that activate different intelligences children bring to the classroom. The secret to your students’ success is equally the secret to your own success as the educator. Come and join in the English Time 1 songs and chants as children and take home hands-on activities as happy teachers!

Moving from storytelling, through phonics to reading

In this presentation he will show you how to use storytelling in your class to not only capture students' interest in English but to enable them to become confident readers. Using the popular Oxford Reading Tree series in combination with the brand new Floppy's Phonics branch Kevin will show you effective ways to teach phonics and promote fluent reading in your classroom.

Variety in your techniques: Teaching to reach all learners
Why do some students learn quickly and others don’t? It’s because each student has a different learning style. Some learn better through pictures while others may learn better by movement or other means. The different styles are called Multiple Intelligences. This workshop will show how you can teach prepositions a variety of ways and get all your students doing the four skills as well.

Original Ideas for Young Learners
Children learn in different ways. Some children learn by "seeing", others learn by "hearing" and yet others learn by "doing". In this presentation, Kaj Schwermer will reach into his teacher’s toolbox of games, activities and songs and share some simple and fun ideas that will help you bring your lessons to life and help your students learn by “seeing”, “hearing” and “doing”.
