For forty years, ELT has celebrated certain practices as signs of “good” teaching. But what if some of these virtues aren’t so virtuous after all? In this workshop, I’ll uncover seven cherished habits of ELT that I believe may have caused more harm than good—to teachers and learners alike. Expect some myth-busting and a few provocative ideas that might just change the way you see Monday morning’s lesson.

Discover tools and strategies to optimize your daily work. This workshop will teach you how to work smarter so you can focus on what truly matters: improving your teaching or growing your path as a teacherpreneur.
Martina Monreal, SmartCookie Co-Founder
Do you ever have to step in to cover a colleague at the last minute? Are you sometimes worried about going through all your prepared material and being left with extra time on your hands? In this workshop, we will share a range of activities that require little-to-no preparation and can be easily adapted to different levels and learner profiles.

BREAK – Enjoy drinks and snacks in our sunny garden
It’s easy to slip into the habit of sandwiching an exam practice exercise like “a listening” or “a use of English” between communicative, “fun” activities to keep our teens from “checking out”. In this workshop, we’ll explore how training students to create their own exam tasks can make passive, dry exam skills training into an active part of our lessons: boosting language production, deepening the students’ understanding of the exam, and ensuring they stay engaged throughout.
Alice Copello, Oxford House teacher
Many speaking tasks fail not because of student ability, but because of how they’re set up and followed up. In this practical workshop, teachers will learn a simple way to upgrade speaking activities so learners improve performance, not just participation.
Barney Griffiths, Teacher Trainer and BGLC Director
BREAK – Enjoy drinks and snacks in our sunny garden
Keep the energy high without the headache. In this workshop we will explore ideas for fun, productive games that get students moving, and strategies for how to keep things under control.
