This year IP takes place at CAPSIS Hotel where we will have a stand full of surprises as well as great events and information about our activity. We will also have a fully professional session led by Ms Maria Polychrou and Ms Maria-Araxi Sachpazian entitled Motivating learners through skills’ work: Deskilling and Reskilling!


In this session we will talk about the active teaching of skills. The teaching of skills is the backbone of balanced communicative teaching. It adds meaningfulness to language learning and makes language teaching realistic. Sadly, learners face challenges when trying to cope with the production of language and the decoding of written or audio texts. They are also demotivated by repeated negative results from tests on skills. How can teachers cater for individual needs and how can the weaknesses of individual students be spotted? This session aims to discuss how inclusive practices can be employed to reskill students. The two speakers will focus on different aspects of the topic: Ms Polychrou will focus on how Educational Drama can be used in the development of skills, while Ms Sachpazian will discuss the honing of receptive skills.

 

Maria Polychrou is a Member of the Executive Board of TESOL MTH, Northern Greece and the owner of English Drama Microschool. She is also a Teacher Trainer and Oral Examiner

 

Ms Maria-Araxi Sachpazian is the Chair TESOL MTH, Northern Greece and a Lecturer CITY College, the University of York Europe Campus, She is the owner of Input on Education and a member on the Membership Committee of IATEFL.  

If these are not enough, at both stands we are going to organise lucky draws! What about? Well, why spoil the surprise! Come and say hi and find out! In our tough times we know that many of you think mainly of the problems of joining an Association and not of the benefits! Come and say hello and you will see that at a minimal cost, you can take care of your CPD and your professional Learning Networks. 

                     

See you all at the Exhibitions! A Happy School Year to all!
