I’m doing a slightly shorter version of my Atomic Classroom Habits webinar on Wednesday 8th May 2024 in collaboration with Learn Your English.
The session will take place at 12:00 EST, that’s 18:00 in Spain. It will last around 35-40 minutes with time after for a Q&A.
Here’s the blurb:
In James Clear’s 2018 book “Atomic Habits” the writer discusses the power of making small 1% improvements to our daily habits and how these incremental changes can have long-lasting compounding effects.
This talk will look at ways we can apply this principle and theories of habit formation in general to a classroom setting.
Attendees will leave this talk with practical ideas and tweaks they can make in their own classes, as well as a longer-term framework for putting their students on a path to more effective and rewarding language acquisition.
Register for the session by following this link. Hope to see you there!
We’re back with another episode of 2Ts in a Pod. This time we’re delving back into the deepest darkest depths of Reddit to answer the question AITA (am I the asshole?) We examine 3 situations in which people are unsure whether or not they are in the wrong. Check out the episode right now!
If you want to read more AITA situations, or, if you’re a teacher, you want to use them in your classes, check them out here.
Next Saturday 27th April 2024 I will be speaking at the Macmillan Academy Day in Barcelona. The sessions run from 10:00-13:30 and there will be two sessions in total.
The first session, entitled “Challenging Students at C2” will be presented by the excellent teacher trainer and author Ethan Mansur. He will be presenting his new book “Ready for C2 Proficiency” and giving loads of great tips on how to help students bridge the gap from C1 to C2.
Then, the title of my session is “Teen Tactics: Engaging and Encouraging Adolescent Learners.” We will explore practical techniques, strategies and activities to tackle teens classes and make them more engaging and thus more effective.
