U nastavku serije internih radionica Oživljavanje jezičkih veština, posle 19. februarske radionice  koja se bavila veštinama čitanja, profesorke Lingve su se okupile 21. juna 2014 da prezentuju I probaju aktivnosti za razvijanje veštine pisanja. Pokrivene su sve uzrasne grupe I široki raspon nivoa, od Dečijeg A1.b do Omladinskog/Odraslog C1, kao i razni tipovi pisanih zadataka – instrukcije, biografije, priče I preporuke. U svim sesijama korišćeni su šareni rekviziti i atraktivni multimedijalni resursi u cilju povećanja motivacije polaznika za aktivno učenje jezika. Kao I ranije, I ovo je bila prilika da se podeli dragoceno nastavno iskustvo iz prve ruke.

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.

Lingva In-house Workshops No. 17 and No.18

Lingva In-house Workshop No.18

Lingva In-house Workshop No.18

 

Lingva in-house workshops No.17 and No. 18 in the school year 2012/2013 were dedicated to developing skills of using interactive whiteboard and integrating online IWB activities into English language teaching. In the 17th workshop on 10th January 2013, a Lukvel representative introduced Lingva teachers to the basics of working with a Hitachi Starboard Link EZ2 IWB and in the 18th workshop on 21st June 2013, teachers presented lesson plans in which they integrated online IWB activities with face-to-face teaching.

The new piece of teaching equipment for blended teaching/learning was received with great enthusiasm at all levels – from Director of Studies to novice teachers, and Lingva students were equally thrilled to switch from quieter PC based pair work to more dynamic IWB group activities. Many hours were spent on internet research to find suitable IWB resources for all age groups and levels, and integrate them with the set Lingva sylabuses. While plenty of ESL resources were easily found on the web for younger learners, a considerable number of authentic materials aimed at native speakers had to be used to design leasson plans for higher-level students, which necessitated more meticulous adaptations. The overall result was creation of a comprehensive school base of IWB activities that will be constantly reused, improved and supplemented in the future work of Lingva. Here are some sample lesson plans:
