Michelle Worgan: Making English Fun! - Digital Resources for Young Learners

Room TRISTAN

World Clock Fri 9pm GMT, 10pm London, 11pm Paris, 6am Tokyo (Sat), 5pm New York

What is the difference between digital materials and their more traditional counterparts? In many cases, not much! Many published materials are simply copies of the textbook and if we really want to engage young learners, more interactivity is required. In this talk we will look at various websites and tools we can use to really get our younger learners interacting with English and having fun! Aimed at teachers of primary-aged learners with access to the internet in the classroom.

Michelle Worgan has been teaching since 1999, after studying a languages degree.
She lives in Jerez, where she teaches and acts as director of studies in a private language school, teaching learners of all ages from early primary to adult.
Michelle is very interested in the use of technology where this enhances learning, and tries to incorporate a mix of web tools and online learning to accompany her face-to-face classes. She also gives regular workshops at local and national conferences, and has a blog where she shares teaching ideas.
