Make learning English fun through the use of songs and movement!  This workshop is about including auditory and kinesthetic games in your lessons. Help your students focus on their pronunciation and understanding of the English language rhythm, tone, beat and grammar by using daily songs and active games. Get a repertoire of ideas you could use for your Trinity Stars performances.

Bring the stories you use in your topic to lead your PE lessons and you will make your students learn English through discovering and experiencing. They will learn vocabulary by using their whole bodies!

In this fun and highly practical workshop we’ll start by looking at various types of puppets you can use with your students. Then we’ll work on how to introduce your puppets and bring them to life; I’ll be giving you some tips on puppet manipulation and how to give your puppet a voice. Finally, we’ll examine how they can be used to promote creativity in the classroom and look at activities you can do with your puppet.

Successful readers use a wide range of strategies to help them process meaning. In this practical workshop we will look at how including strategy training in reading classes can help students to become effective and efficient readers. Using practical activities and tasks, we will focus on what these strategies are, and how we can train students to use them.

In this workshop we’ll look at some fun ways to prepare students for putting on a Trinity Stars show.  As a starting point, we’ll explore how to bring storytelling to life, use songs and develop characters through use of masks and costumes. Then we’ll consider how best to exploit what students can already do, and also how to incorporate language items they’ll need to know in future; drama is the perfect vehicle for making learning memorable.  Finally, we’ll look at some examples of project work and reflect on what this can include.
