Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to join us
on Saturday March 15th, 2014 at 9.30 a.m.
at the Teacher Training College in Wrocław (NKJO)
ul. Skarbowców 8a, 53-025 Wrocław
for a workshop entitled
‘Thinking in the EFL class’
run by Tessa Woodward
In this practical workshop, Tessa will give you a taste of her book with Helbling publishers
entitled ‘Thinking in the EFL Class’. She will give a brief introduction and then involve you
straightaway in trying out experientially some of the ideas in it so you can experience them as
a student would. These language class ideas are useful in secondary and tertiary classes. They
will help you to set an atmosphere conducive to thinking (your own as well as your students!).
They require little preparation and no new technology (unless you WANT to use technology
to do them). During the workshop there will be plenty of fun, lots of practical trying out, and time
to discuss the activities after each one, their advantages and disadvantages and the changes
you may want to make to adapt them to your style of teaching and your language classes.
Tessa Woodward is a teacher, teacher trainer,
and the Professional Development Co-ordinator
at Hilderstone College, Broadstairs, Kent, UK.
She also edits The Teacher Trainer journal for
Pilgrims, Canterbury, UK. She was President of
IATEFL from 2005-6 and is now one of IATEFL’s
international ambassadors. She is the author of
many books and articles for language teachers
and for teacher trainers. Her latest book is
Thinking in the EFL Class (2011) Helbling
Languages. She has another one in the pipeline
called ‘Something to Say’ and co-authored with
Seth Lindstromberg. At work she is very
interested in how adults learn. In her free time
(which she hopes to have more of this year!)
she loves horse riding, walking, writing, singing
and being with friends.
The workshop is free for IATEFL members.
