We are delighted to announce that Macmillan Education is planning a series of the following online seminars in May<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)Feedback that Empowers <\/strong>by Kateryna Protsenko<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date: 6 May, 13:00 & 19:00 Tbilisi Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agenda:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many students, feedback is the most\nvaluable part of learning and is often one of the reasons why they choose\none-to-one classes over group classes. When participating in surveys on\ncustomer satisfaction, students often say that they would like to have more\nfeedback from their teachers. It\u2019s clear that feedback is a lot more than\nsimple error correction and praise for some good language – but what else does\nit include? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this seminar we will look at what feedback\nis, what aspects of learning we can and should give feedback on and how to do\nthat. There are lots of things to take into account when giving feedback,\nincluding task setting, students\u2019 effort, level of challenge etc. – we will\nalso look at those things which we should be keeping in mind when giving\nfeedback. Finally, in the light of the current situation with COVID-19 and the\nfact that learning has moved online and we will inevitable have to teach some\nof our classes online from now on, we will examine how feedback online differs\nfrom feedback given face-to-face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)Online lessons that are active and interactive<\/strong> by Laura Patsko<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date: 12 May, 13:00 & 19:00 Tbilisi Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agenda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These\ndays, more and more teachers and learners are finding ourselves spending the\nmajority of our days online \u2013 planning lessons, doing self-study or attending\nlive synchronous classes. We can look on the bright side and say, \u201cWell, if we\nhave to be locked down at home, at least we have the technology nowadays to\nkeep us connected.\u201d But there\u2019s no denying that, for many people, sitting and\nstaring at a computer screen for long periods every day is not very motivating\nor healthy (either mentally or physically). So how can we boost levels of energy\nand engagement in our live classes? This seminar will demo a few tips and\ntricks, and invite teachers who have recently moved their classes online to\nshare their own insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
