Write Smarter, Not Harder: Boosting Language Skills & Reclaiming Your Time
Do your students groan at the thought of writing in a new language? Do you dread the mountain of marking that follows? Let’s be honest: writing in a new language can feel daunting for students and marking it can drain valuable teacher time. In this workshop, we will tackle the common pain points of teaching writing in the language classroom head-on.
Across the day you will:
- Explore creative, low-prep activities that build students’ writing skills and confidence.
- Learn practical techniques to improve accuracy and reduce reliance on online translators and AI tools.
- Discover time-saving marking strategies that provide targeted, impactful feedback without the overwhelm.
- See how simple technology can support both student writing and your workflow.
Although the examples given in this workshop will come from French and EAL, the ideas presented are general in nature and can be applied in most Language classrooms, so secondary teachers of all languages are encouraged to attend. You will leave with customisable resources developed during the session, ready for immediate classroom use and a toolkit of fresh ideas and digital resources to make writing work for everyone.
