Inspiring Teaching and Learning in the twenty-first-century English Classroom

This session will focus on how teachers of English can motivate and engage their students, informed by evidence-based research into what works to improve both students’ learning and pedagogical best practices.  Teachers will be invited to set aside assessment objectives and grading and offered the opportunity to look in depth at how English can be taught through an active learning approach, aimed at developing students’ metacognitive skills. The session will use the ideas and strategies explored in ‘Approaches to learning and teaching: a toolkit for international teachers’, a series of books recently published by CUP in collaboration with Cambridge Assessment International Education.
