Motivation for Teens: Meaningful Social Context and Tribe in the EFL Classroom

Sometimes we focus so much on teaching English that we forget about the language our teenage students speak. No, I don’t mean Ukranian, Russian, French, Spanish or Italian: I am talking about students’ internal social language: their code, their values, their behaviour. A class of teenagers is not merely a group of students, it is a tribe with its own unspoken laws and balance. In the seminar, we will be looking at how understanding and becoming part of this “tribal” micro system can empower us as teachers and motivators in the EFL classroom.

“We know the drill!” Or do we? : An innovative way of looking at Drilling Pronunciation

Drilling is a powerful yet forgotten tool that just needs to make its way back onto the EFL stage. Historically, it has been in and out of fashion and in and out of practice since the beginning of EFL. Why? Two simple reasons come to mind: people find it boring, people find it ineffective. The aim of this seminar is to show how drilling pronunciation, despite its bad fame, should indeed not be boring nor ineffective. We may even manage to convince some that the reason why drilling may be ineffective is precisely because it is usually done in rather boring ways. In the seminar we will be looking at how effective drilling is not merely a way to practise difficult pronunciation patterns, but rather a powerful way to rewire our brains to language learning completely!
