Join IATEFL Young Learners & Teenagers Special Interest Group (YLTSIG), and Aleksandra Popovski for this mini course.
As part of the ‘Better Together: IATEFL YLTSIG Webconference 2023’ event, YLTSIG is again offering three different minicourses for teachers around the world. The courses are 6 hours long, comprised of 3 sessions of two hours each. You will be required to attend all 3 sessions to complete the course. This mini course will run on the 13, 14 and 15 January from 10.00 – 12.00 (UK time) each day.
Minicourse B. Inside Learners' Minds: Visible Thinking in the YLT Classroom, is being kindly facilitated by SYMMETRY.
Abstract
Visible Thinking, a research-based conceptual framework, makes extensive use of learning routines rich in thinking. These routines scaffold and support development of learners’ thinking and help make their thinking visible. In this practical mini-course, participants will be guided through the core thinking routines and explore a variety of ways in which they can be used in the YLT classroom.
Day 1: After introducing Visible Thinking, we will examine and discuss its benefits for teaching and learning languages. We will look at how we can integrate Visible Thinking in our lesson planning.
Day 2: We will explore various Thinking Routines and how we can use them as basis for teaching different language structures.
Day 3: We will continue exploring different Thinking Routines before we look at how to adapt them for our classroom.
