Krajská města, na rozdíl od naší metropole, nejsou pravidelným cílem organizátorů jazykových konferencí pro pedagogy. Ti z nás, kteří touží po čerstvých informacích a inspiraci pro svou práci, pak musí za kvalitními akcemi cestovat. Proto jsme se ve spolupráci s Cambridge University Press and Assessment, předními vzdělávacími institucemi v regionech a pod záštitou krajských radních pro vzdělávání rozhodli založit novou tradici: Konferenci pro lepší angličtinu s podtitulem "Meet. Share. Inspire". V Českých Budějovicích se nám to před dvěma lety úspěšně podařilo. Letos chceme nabídnout konferenci vyučujícím angličtiny nejen Jihočeském, ale také v Ústeckém a Libereckém kraji.
Srdečně vás zveme a těšíme se na společné setkání, sdílení a inspiraci!
Rozvoj porozumění, čtení, psaní a mluvení u studentů je jedním z klíčových úkolů výuky. Na konferenci se tomuto tématu, věnují dva semináře.
O náročnosti kantorské profese není pochyb. Proto techniky relaxace mají své místo nejen u top-manažerů, ale i v prostředí škol.
Výukové materiály, digitální podpora a nástroje, které mohou vyučující využít ve své praxi.
V průběhu akce budou k dispozici partneři konference ke konzultacím.
This session begins by looking at different text types to understand better what the essentials of communicative writing are, and what promotes it. We then briefly review the principles of differentiated learning (including collaboration) with reference to Carol Ann Tomlinson: “Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small groups of students …”. Finally we will look at how coursebooks support learners in developing their communicative writing skills.

Mixed ability classes have become the norm in ELT, and it seems that we, as teachers, must cope with a greater range of mixed abilities within the same class nowadays. In this workshop, we will explore ways and tips for coping with mixed ability classes and look at various strategies for differentiating activities within a coursebook, referencing the Cambridge Own It series.

It is not uncommon for teachers to feel discouraged, burnt-out and sometimes ready to quit. Training the mind to regulate emotions during stressful interactions with students is the key to creating a peaceful, non-judgmental learning environment which results in a calm classroom. This session discusses the science behind mind training techniques such as mindfulness meditation which have been proven to dramatically reduce stress levels, control negative emotions, improve productivity and allow more effective communication with students.

Johnson & Morrow (1981) say that ‘Communicative language teaching [CLT] should move us away from learners who are structurally competent but communicatively incompetent.’ In this interactive lesson-workshop, you will experience a communicative grammar lesson and have the opportunity to reflect on the different lesson stages. At the same time, you will broaden your knowledge and understanding of CLT, and be able to make your own conclusions about how this will impact on your own teaching.

Writing is a subject that few enjoy teaching and even fewer enjoy learning. Usually, this disdain for writing is deeply rooted in the students general lack of understanding of how to effectively write academically and a lack of motivation for writing. In this workshop, we will look at various techniques we can use in our classes to help motivate our students to effectively construct a piece of writing for Cambridge Exams, referring to how these techniques help in formal writing assessment.

Reading is a skill that we all teach in our classrooms, but there are several reading techniques that students tend to struggle with, especially techniques for taking a reading test during an English exam. Though learned to assist in passing an exam, these skills are also highly useful in the everyday lives of our students, and when used, can help to foster a deep appreciation for reading. In this workshop, we will discuss these techniques and develop a bank of activities which we can use in our classes to train our students how to read more effectively.
