Webinar details

In this webinar we will explore some of the challenges teachers face when trying to develop speaking skills in class. We will look at the reasons that speaking in class can be a source of frustration for both teachers and learners alike. By unpacking some of the reasons, we will gain a better understanding of what our learners need and what we can do to allow, support and cultivate authentic communication in our young learner classes. We will look at how the Your Way to GESE book series has been designed to put learner voice and real-world application of language at the forefront and how this approach strengthens real-world communication.
