Širimo znanje

Webinar HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS?

Predavateljica: Fiona Mauchline

Na 60-minutni delavnici nam je predavateljica praktično predstavila serijo Get Involved, novo učno serijo naše partnerske založbe Macmillan za poučevanje angleščine od šestega do devetega razreda. Skupaj smo si ogledali, kako končni projekti, ki se pojavljajo v vsaki lekciji, spodbujajo motivacijo v razredu in učencem omogočajo, da novo znanje takoj praktično uporabijo v konkretnih, smiselnih situacijah.

Helping teenage students develop growth mindsets (dr. Herbert Puchta)

Studies show that students with a ‘growth mindset’ are more likely to adopt learning goals instead of performance goals. Having clear learning goals helps them better navigate their school life and their academic career.

In this webinar we analyse what a growth mindset is and how we can help our students develop one. We look at ways of engaging with our students in a dialogue-based classroom interaction in which we show we are treating them with respect, and as individuals with their own thoughts, feelings and capabilities.

Herbert will be using examples from Think 4 promoting critical thinking, values and self-esteem to demonstrate how we can successfully encourage our students to think more deeply, by asking good questions and by expressing a genuine interest in what they have to say.

Herbert Puchta holds a Ph.D. in ELT Pedagogy, was Professor of English at the Teacher Training University in Graz, Austria and is a well-known plenary speaker at numerous international conferences. He was also President of IATEFL, the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language. For more than three decades, Herbert has done research into the practical application of findings from cognitive psychology and brain research to the teaching of English as a foreign language. Herbert has co-authored numerous course books as well as articles and resource books. His latest resource books are Teaching Young Learners to Think and Activities for Very Young Learners. His course books include Super Safari (for pre-primary), Quick Minds and Super Minds for primary students, Think for teens, and Empower for adults and young adults.

How thinking skills can help your students learn English

Predavatelj: Matthew Ellman, nagrajeni učitelj angleškega jezika, vodja praktičnega usposabljanja ter vodja strokovnega učenja in razvoja pri založbi Cambridge University Press

Na področju izobraževanja se pogosto govori o spretnostih mišljenja oz. življenjskih kompetencah ali veščinah 21. stoletja. Vendar pa ni povsem jasno, kako lahko te prispevajo k poučevanju angleščine. Na brezplačnem 60-minutnem spletnem predavanju smo na primerih iz učnih kompletov Think spoznali, da so spretnosti mišljenja pravzaprav idealno orodje pri ustvarjanju priložnosti za razvoj kritičnega razmišljanja in razvijanje govornih zmožnosti učencev. Ogledali smo si tudi nekaj praktičnih dejavnosti, s katerimi lahko spretnosti mišljenja izkoristimo tako pri poučevanju prek spleta kot tudi pri frontalnem poučevanju v učilnicah.
