Join us at the region's greatest professional event for EFL teachers
Speaking and writing are two skills that require many hours of practice. We will be paying extra attention to them at this year's conference
Technology, artificial intelligence, digital tools, and approaches to teaching in a world where students have a head start
Textbooks, practice books, methodological tips and trick, dictionaries, and other teaching materials
This session will introduce innovative, student-centered approaches to teaching grammar and vocabulary within the Think curriculum. Moving beyond rote learning and textbook exercises, participants will explore interactive activities, games, and contextualized learning strategies that make language acquisition more meaningful and memorable. The focus will be on fostering active participation, encouraging peer interaction, and promoting language use in real-world contexts to deepen understanding
Writing is often the most challenging skill for learners to ‘learn’ and for teachers to ‘teach’. How can we transform our classrooms into dynamic spaces where students feel inspired and motivated to engage in writing tasks? In this session we will look at what writing involves and examine how teachers can support primary learners throughout the writing process, helping them build both skill and confidence in their writing.
A series of fast-paced and mind-provoking presentations in the lightning format on current topics from the world of the latest trends in education at home and abroad.
At the end of the day, there will be a raffle with prizes from Cambridge University Press and Assessment and ELEC

Writing can be one of the most challenging skills for students to master and for teachers to teach effectively. How can we transform our classrooms into vibrant spaces that excite and inspire students to engage in writing tasks? How can we boost learners' confidence and ultimately develop their writing abilities? In this session, we will try to answer these questions and empower teachers to better support students in honing their writing skills. We will also refer to Prepare 2nd Edition and see how its content aids in accomplishing this goal.
In this presentation we will investigate two questions: why speaking is an important language skill, and what common features exist in spoken language (both inside and outside the classroom). As Sari Luoma (2004) writes, “Speaking in a foreign language is very difficult and competence in speaking takes a long time to develop.” So, we will examine various speaking activities from Cambridge materials and consider if they are skills or language-based and then consider what the main aims of speaking activities should be. We will also have the opportunity to think about spoken interaction strategies which can be used to fulfil various functions.
