I had the pleasure of speaking at the Innovate ELT conference at Oxford House Barcelona this past weekend. It was great to connect with so many other ELT professionals and see so many inspiring talks.
My talk was entitled “Atomic Classroom Habits” and its aim was to try to adapt the framework for habit formation outlined in James Clear’s Atomic Habits to language learning.
Below you will find a PDF of my slides from the talk. Over the next few days I will be posting more of the materials I mentioned during the session.
As I mentioned during the talk, I feel like I’m only just beginning to explore the potential for applying habit formation techniques to the world of ELT and I’m keen to receive feedback or collaborate with likeminded people. So feel free to get in touch either through the comments or via Linkedin.
Hello there!
Thanks for your posts, i find them really really useful for a C1 and C2 teacher myself!
And about this last post about your conference… by any chance you got it recorded or something, cos i’m find it kinda difficult to follow your slides… Would it be possible to see the conference somewhere?
Hey Angel, sorry for late reply. I did a webinar of the Atomic Habits talk for the TEFL Development Hub on Facebook. If you ask to join the group, I’m sure Teresa will accept you and then you can find the webinar video.
I’m actually doing the session again today at 6pm Spanish time. Check out the details here: https://freeenglishlessonplans.com/2024/05/04/webinar-atomic-classroom-habits-wednesday-8th-may-2024/
