Top tips for storytelling with young children – Carol Read<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories are a powerful vehicle for developing language in the pre-primary classroom but they can also fall flat and be difficult to manage if children are not attentive and engaged. In this webinar, I will share top tips for delivering storytelling sessions successfully to young children. Taking a story from The Wheels series as an example, a wide range of practical strategies and techniques that support the discovery of new meaning and inspire children to want to join in and use English will be demonstrated and discussed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: 13:15-14:00 and 21:15-22:00 Tbilisi Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Going out with a bang! \u2013 Joanne Ramsden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This term has been particularly challenging for pupils and teachers alike. We have had to adapt to a different way of learning – remote, socially distanced and wearing masks. It\u2019s time for some fun! In this webinar we will be looking at ways to round off the term with a feel good factor by engaging your learners in an online or a face-to-face environment. Get ready for fun and games! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: 14:00-14:45 and 22:00-22:45 Tbilisi Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finding your voice. Speaking together in the time of Corona – Ben Crystal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year has been spent together apart, so much shared. The internet is terrific at transmitting sound and light; it\u2019s not so good at transmitting empathy and atmosphere, and no help at all for speaking in unison. An inspirational end to the day, we’ll explore theatre techniques for setting up a nourishing virtual space, before taking a fun dive into Shakespeare\u2019s Sonnets! Bring the Bard to life to tell your story, find your voice, and speak loud and proud in a safe space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time: 15:30-16:00 and 23:30-24:00 Tbilisi Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
