Transforming classrooms with PBL: integrating Sustainable Development Goals for impactful learning.

Project-based learning (PBL) has become yet another buzz word in language teaching recently, but what does it really mean? How can we best make use of these materials? Projects give us more than just an outcome that can be presented but rather provide us with series of skills and abilities that can be further applied in real-life. Recently, the innovative integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into PBL segments has added an exciting new dimension to our courses. This presents a fascinating opportunity to empower students on a global scale. In this dynamic and interactive workshop, we will explore ways these projects can be effectively orchestrated in the classroom. We'll look at ways teachers can offer insightful feedback and utilize these projects as powerful facilitative tools to amplify language learning. There will be plenty of quick-fire activities and practical takeaway tips.

Amir Hamidi is a senior teacher trainer and educational consultant at Unlimited Educational Services and marketing manager at Helbling Türkiye. He has been teaching and training EFL teachers for over 15 years and assisting schools and universities with language learning programs. For Amir, a training session is an opportunity to share his passion and inspire others.

NEW DATE!
Mystery and adventure in class: how stories can inspire students.

Understanding the function of stories is essential in providing opportunities for students to step out of their comfort zone, and into real life language use. Developing activities and projects from stories can be a difficult skill to practise, but there are many simple teaching and modelling techniques to lead students into being more creative with language in a realistic way. 
In this webinar we will go through some simple techniques to introduce exciting activities and projects into the language classroom by focusing on mystery and adventure stories for teenagers.

NEW DATE!
Mixing the serious with the fun: developing language and life skills with young teenagers.

Lower secondary students are ‘tweenagers’ – no longer children, but not yet young adults. Serious and interested in real-world issues on the one hand, and playful and childlike on the other. The latest findings from educational research and cognitive psychology show how important the content of our teaching is if we want to reassure tweenagers that we take them seriously for who they are. If we can do this, we will be able to build rapport with them and develop a classroom culture that they want to belong to. This will increase their motivation to learn, get them to take us and their studies seriously, lead to better language learning, and more fun – for our learners and for us as teachers.

Make Reading Matter:
support social and emotional development in young learners through stories.

In this webinar, you are going to learn about using stories for multiple purposes in the young-learner classroom. Stories are the most natural way of learning for children, and becoming familiar with the amazing potential of picture books will help you harness their magical powers. We will use examples from the Helbling Young Readers and The Thinking Train series to illustrate these goals and present you activities you can try in your young learner classes. By helping our students to develop their visual and literacy skills, we give them the tools to recognise and address their emotions and relate to others in social contexts. With their social and emotional development in mind, we will look at five different classroom goals and see how stories will help you work towards them.
