Early Literacy and Building Competences towards YLE exams

In this presentation we will explore a range of strategies which engage Primary learners with early literacy in English. We will look at the principles of phonographix, letter and phoneme patterns, developing early handwriting, sight-word strategies and developing English spelling strategies. Participants will gain hands-on experience of how we can make the process of learning to read and write in the Primary classroom a truly interactive one as we build learner competences for YLE Exams.

Exam Practice, Exam Training and Exam Awareness-Raising

In this presentation we will look at classroom strategies for optimising the impact of exam practice work in class. We will discuss a range of classroom procedures each related to the core skills areas (Papers) that help teachers to use exam practice material to go beyond just familiarising candidates with exam features and formats and provide a space for effective test-taking strategies to genuinely flourish. We will look at the different roles that exam practice, exam training and exam awareness raising play in an exam preparation learning cycle with particular focus on B1 Preliminary, B2 First and C1 Advanced exams.

Overview of the workshop:

As teachers, we all know how time consuming lesson planning can be sometimes. We are constantly looking for new activities, fun activities and games that we can use during our lessons. We all have felt, at one point in our careers, the pressure of having fun, engaging lessons for our students. The students’ expectations from us have also gone up in time, due to all the technology around us and the information available online. Thus, lessons nowadays need to combine both traditional activities, but also the use of technology, games and the internet.
This workshop is intended and planned so that everyone can go back to their classes with lots of ideas, games and websites that can be used immediately. We’ll be looking into how to use technology to facilitate and make lesson planning quick and painless, how to use several websites to assign homework that is easy to check or to plan writing lessons that are actually fun for the students, how to create fun, engaging worksheets using technology and also how to use several games during vocabulary and grammar lessons. Learning objectives:
- Participants will be able to discover and test various teaching apps and websites that they can start using immediately during their lessons
- Participants will learn about different games that make English lessons more fun and try some of them during the workshop

It focuses on the can dos of the exam and presents practical speaking activities teachers can use in the classroom to improve learners’ communicative skills as well as to reduce test anxiety.

Cum de unii oameni reusesc sa se dezvolte continuu si sa se simta bine în timp ce o fac? Iar altii, desi au succes, traiesc cu teama ca lumea va descoperi ca ei nu sunt atât de inteligenti, capabili sau priceputi precum par? Si ce efect au pe termen lung convingeri precum: Daca gresesc este pentru ca sunt prost, Am talent – sau ... N-am talent!, Nu sunt bun la calcule, N-o sa pot niciodata sa fac asa ceva? Daca gresesc este pentru ca sunt prost, Am talent – sau ... N-am talent!, Nu sunt bun la calcule, N-o sa pot niciodata sa fac asa ceva?

Mentalitatea noastra determina modul în care interpretam succesele si esecurile. Ea influenteaza felul în care ne percepem propriile experiente si determina modul în care reactionam la ele din punct de vedere mental, emotional, cognitiv si comportamental. Douazeci de ani de cercetare au surprins impactul puternic pe care mentalitatea îl are asupra performantei, învatarii, implicarii, rezilientei si leadershipului.

Vino la atelierul condus de Sandra Jitianu si descopera:

• Ce anume defineste o mentalitate de crestere;
• Cum sa te raportezi la dificultati sau esecuri pentru a le transforma în oportunitati;
• Ce sa faci pentru a-ti fortifica mentalitatea de crestere;
• O serie de idei practice pentru a o declansa atunci când ai nevoie de ea;
• Cum putem încuraja mentalitatea de crestere în lucrul cu copiii si elevii.

Daca ti-ar spune cineva: “Ai cinci minute sa ma convingi de orice vrei tu”, cum si ce i-ai spune?
Participa la workshop-ul BISM - Bucharest International School of Management pentru a descoperi modele si tactici de persuasiune. Laura Lazarescu, Managing Partner la BISM te va ajuta sa convingi pe oricine de proiectul, businessul sau ideea ta.
La finalul evenimentului vei primi un certificat care iti va atesta participarea in cadrul unui workshop autentic despre pitching. Cu alte cuvinte, CV-ul tau iti va fi recunoscator. Workshop-ul va fi in limba engleza.

Venue: Sediul BISM, Bd. Dacia, Nr. 99

"Teaching Writing" este modulul in care profesorul este pregatit sa creeze un mediu propice scrierii de eseuri la clasa. Inainte de a deveni sofer inveti cum functioneaza componentele masinii. Acelasi lucru este valabil si pentru un profesor care invata elevii sa scrie eseuri. El este cel care trebuie, mai intai, sa inteleaga si sa parcurga etapele scrierii unui eseu, pentru ca mai apoi sa le explice elevilor acest proces. Prin participare la acest workshop, vei explora, pas cu pas, tehnica scrierii unui eseu pornind de la tema lansata, trecand prin culegerea, adunarea si selectarea ideilor, pana la constructia eseului propriu-zis. Se vor analiza diferite tipuri de eseuri cerute la olimpiada si la examenele Cambridge si se vor lucra impreuna cu Lectorul, pentru intelegerea aprofundata a structurii.

La finalul workshopului „Teaching Essay Writing”, participantii vor putea:

• sa identifice etapele procesului de scriere a unui eseu;

• sa utilizeze eficient, cu elevii, etapele procesului de scriere;

• sa creeze la clasa mediul propice pentru dezvoltarea gandirii critice.

A workshop for busy teachers and successful students

Trinity GESE Grades 1 - 3 exams address young learners. At these levels, candidates are expected to communicate in basic and routine tasks on familiar topics and areas of immediate need.
This workshop focuses on the can dos of the exam and presents practical speaking activities teachers can use in the classroom in order to improve learners’ communicative skills as well as to reduce test anxiety. Since this may be candidates’ first exam experience, they may lack confidence. Engaging students in interactive educational games builds their confidence and facilitates language learning. If you feel there’s always room for more games to add to your play list, or your preparation time is limited, the proposed activities are meant to provide you with some aces up your sleeves.

Anda-Ileana Duta holds a PhD in Philology and she is an Interactive Methodology specialist, a TEFL and ESP teacher and a Cambridge Speaking examiner. During her 15-year-teaching experience, she has taught learners of all ages in Romania, Spain, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Croatia and the UK. Anda takes great pride in motivating her students looking forward to their next English lesson and exam experience.
