Jak przygotować dzieci do PTE Young Learners,
Katarzyna Statkiewicz-Zawadzka
Nasze spotkanie zaczniemy od krótkiej refleksji na temat motywacji dzieci do nauki i jakie miejsce w tym
zagadnieniu przypada PTE Young Learners. Zaprezentuję kilka pomysłów, które pomogą utrzymać motywację
na wysokim poziomie podczas przygotowań do egzaminu (i to nie tylko motywację uczniów). Jak uniknąć
licznych powtórzeń tych samych zadań a jednocześnie oswoić uczniów z formą egzaminów? Jakie problemy
najczęściej napotykamy podczas przygotowań? Które elementy zadań sprawiają dzieciom największe
trudności? Jak o egzaminach rozmawiać z rodzicami? To główne pytania, które pojawią się podczas
prezentacji.
