Our ongoing ELL multimedia project called Curtain Raisers has been extended with new proposals on how to improve quality of life of young people in Valjevo. Stating that there are already more than enough coffee bars in Valjevo and that young people need to visit new places and new things to see and take part in, Isidora, Emilija, Filip, Mina, Borko, Anastasija, Jovana and Jelena, supported with teacher Katarina, have suggested some more interesting activities and events – camping school trips and summer camps in the countryside round Valjevo, including rock camps, sports tournaments and music festivals, as well as educational programmes such as astronomy lectures and astrophotography exhibitions. Their presentations have been recorded as slideshows and video clips. This year the project was facilitated by teacher Katarina Andrić.

On 21 June 2014, continuing the series of Enlivening Language Skills in-house workshops, after the 19th workshop in February this year  on the skills of reading, Lingva teachers gathered to present and try out the activities designed to develop writing skills. This workshop covered all age groups and a broad range of levels, from Primary A1.b to (Young) Adult C1, as well as various types of written tasks – instructions, biographies, stories and references. All sessions featured use of colourful realia and attractive multimedia resources for the purpose of boosting motivation of students for active language learning. As before, this was one more opportunity to share valuable first-hand teaching experience.

19th Lingva Workshop – Enlivening Language Skills: Reading

IMG_1321 [1024x768]

Lingva in-house workshop No. 19 in the school year 2013/2014 was the first in a series of events aimed at revitalising teaching of language skills by introducing colourful media and new technologies. Most of the lesson plans were based on exploiting stories, starting from Celtic tales to comic strip legends to contemporary short stories for children and adults. All of these stories were accompanied with strong visual elements, either in the form of picture books, old paintings and photographs or flash cards. In some presentations, teachers demonstrated how to integrate reading with the skills of listening and speaking, and in others how the reading texts could be analyzed for review writng or serve as models for creative story telling and writing.
