Smart Strategies for Motivating Language Learners
Finding ways to motivate students during the compulsory language learning years can be a real challenge. This workshop showcases a wide range of research‑based, high‑impact activities designed to lift engagement and deepen student involvement in their learning.
Drawing on extensive experience across co‑ed and single‑sex settings in both public and private schools, Ian shares practical strategies that can be easily woven into lessons across all macro‑skill areas. You’ll also explore how selective, purposeful use of technology can boost interest, confidence, and skill development.
Participants will leave with an overflowing toolkit of adaptable activities, ready‑to‑use resources, and confidence readiness to bring new energy into their language classrooms.
Teachers of all languages are welcome.
Examples will focus on French and EAL, but every strategy can be readily adapted. A laptop is recommended to access the full range of activities.
