Why won’t they talk!? We’ll look at some tips for getting Young Learner students speaking in class and discover some flexible resources which can be adapted to many of the YLE Exam topics. Our aim is to help students feel more comfortable speaking English and more confident going into the classroom (& their exams).

The session will be divided into two sections: First, we will look at why students are reluctant to volunteer for speaking activities and how to get them speaking. Then we will dive into a practical workshop to learn how to prepare and adapt lesson plans to different topics and YLE levels.

Does it ever feel like exam preparation classes are no fun? Feeling the pressure to prepare your students thoroughly for exam day, do you leave all your best games at the classroom door and focus on timed practice? This interactive session will look at ways of sneaking more enjoyment into exam prep. We’ll try out some new grammar and vocabulary games, as well as ways to tweak old favourites to have more of an exam focus. Expect to leave with plenty of ideas to try out in your own classrooms on Monday!

In this session, teachers will discover practical ways to help students boost their reading and Use of English skills at B2. Participants will explore engaging activities, useful techniques, and assessment tips to prepare students for B2-level exams.
