Primary School teachers and coordinators who want to learn and share their view of how children learn English these days
For participants to:

- Experience and reflect on the learning process and analyse various techniques.
- Connect practice to updated learning theories and current educational ideas.
- Voice their own thoughts and find ways of implementing renewed ideas with their students.
- Plan a unit of work.
- A Unit of Work in action: activities which cater for diversity and have an outcome in mind. From story-telling to movie via singing and playing games. Integrating science, maths, social studies and the arts. Graded, tailor-made, connected activities and the rationale underpinning them.
- Developing linguistic, cognitive, emotional and social skills: why and how.
- From experience to action via reflection and concept formation.
- Embracing diversity today: in our students, in what we need to teach, in materials and resources.
- Striving for understanding and the need for flexibility, empathy and leadership skills.
- Planning.
This is an experiential workshop which invites participants to go through a learning experience which resembles they one we want to implement in our Primary School classrooms. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss, analyse and explore possibility to find ways of reaching all our students. Every participant will have designed a personal unit of work to be implemented at the start of the year.
