Explore Real Life English Methodology Workshops |
The seminars are accredited by the Ministry of Education. Accreditation number: 2932/2009-25-24
  INVITATIONCITY & GUILDS & language school GLOSSA, s.r.o. are pleased to invite you to a seminar for basic, secondary, tertiary and language school teachers: IESOL, ISESOL: Explore real life English methodology: Functions and Writing
Two methodology workshops on distinctive language aspects, namely language functions and writing skill, based on City & Guilds International ESOL and SESOL examinations with an emphasis on Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). There are two seminars running simultaneously on the same dates and venues. The participants are kindly invited to register for one seminar, depending on their areas of preference:
Seminar 1: Real Life English Methodology on Functions
Can you give advice, respond to a request, get someone´s attention, indicate lack of understanding or interrupt politely? Language functions play a crucial role in successful communication, and their development has lately become an essential part of ELT.
In the workshop we will look at some popular textbooks and study different types of activities to see how language functions are dealt with. The participants will be provided with some useful tips and ready-to-use activities for different kinds of classes. We will also look into the connection between teaching skills, functions and grammar. Finally, we will examine City & Guilds IESOL and ISESOL examinations to see how the language functions can be tested. Speaker: Mgr. Zuzana Lebedová Seminar 2: Real Life English Methodology on Writing Speaking a mother tongue is learnt spontaneously, whereas writing has to be taught. This is twice as true when you are learning a second language, not talking about the fact that the popularity of writing is very low both among students and teachers. Students are often bored by tasks irrelevant to their experience and teachers are confused about what exactly they should require from a good writer. In this practical session, we will have a look at how to make a task meaningful and close to real life, study the basic features that are a must at B1 and B2 CEFR levels and try out several awareness-raising and controlled practice activities that help to incorporate such features into your students´ written work. Speaker: Mgr. Michaela Jelínková Participants will receive:
