Conference from DELTA, CELTA,
CELT-P/S tutors
This lockdown is beginning to turn our lives into a groundhog day: same routines every day, same view out of the window. We need some fresh air.
Let’s turn this period into a perfect time to learn! If this is something you want to do, it’s better to be done with a professional team of trainers.
Language Link Rostov — is one of the best teacher training centres in Europe. People from all over the world come to our school to do CELTA, Delta, CELT-P/S courses.
On 25-26 April our highly-qualified teacher trainers are going to share their expertise in ELT. Join our conference to learn about the best practices in teaching.
Day 1 will be about the most popular methods in ELT. You will also learn how not to limit yourself to one approach and go beyond any method, as the era when we are teaching is called Post-method era. You will get not only theory, but also lots of practical tips.
Day 2 is about specific areas of teaching.
You will get some classroom tested ideas that you can use both in online and offline lessons.
All the participants will receive a certificate.
This conference is more than just webinars, it is a mini teacher training course.

Creative classroom. Spice up your lessons!

How to motivate teenagers?
Teenagers are probably the most misunderstood group of learners. That is why they can be so challenging to teach. Where to find a key to their motivation? How to explain their behaviour and attitude to studying? What activities can be really encouraging for them? These are the questions we’re going to discuss during this presentation.
How to teach writing (focus on exams)
This workshop provides practical, classroom-tested strategies for effective and engaging exam writing lessons. The participants will learn how to prepare teenagers to write exam tasks at various exams (Russian State exams and Cambridge main suite).

The Mystery of TBL. TBL Activities
To task or not to task? That is the question.
What is a task? What types of tasks can we use? What can we teach using tasks? What are the main principles of TBL lesson planning? Can we use TBL with YL? These question will be answered during the webinar on 25.04.20.

Collaborative learning
«Does it really make sense to learn from my mates? Can a person of the same level as me be of any help?» are just some of the questions that our students tend to ask as we offer them some pairwork. In this webinar we’ll speculate on how to marry the latest tendencies in ELT and students’ beliefs about what is «right».
Translation and own language:
Some teachers can’t even think of saying the T-word in their classroom. But is the devil as black as he is painted? Let’s sort it out together!
