Listening is one of the four main skills taught in the classroom as often as reading, speaking and writing and yet, it is the one students like the least, and the one they are weaker at.

This workshop will show why and how the traditional way of teaching listening is not addressing all the problems students encounter when listening.

By analysing the nature of the English language and some of the features of connected speech, this workshop will identify practical ways to help learners become better listeners.

Presented by Cristina Nicolaou – Experienced CELTA Trainer, University Lecturer & Examiner.

Our Masterclass workshops are typically delivered in 90 mins.

At Gallery Teachers, we endorse the philosophy of building on your previous knowledge and experience as opposed to just imparting knowledge on you. 

Therefore, in order to prepare you for the webinar and help you activate what you already know about the topic, we will suggest two to four reflective questions for you to consider before you join the event.

You will also be given the opportunity to post your reflections, along with any questions you may already have at the pre-watching stage, to the discussion forum. 

The reflective questions, as well as ideas and shared experiences posted to the forum by attendees, will be used in the real-time Q&A session in order to generate an engaging and meaningful discussion, involving the presenter and teachers from around the world. 

After the event, the forum discussion will take on a life of its own and teachers will be encouraged to continue posting their experiences, reflections and questions related to the topic of the webinar. So, if you feel strongly about the topic, we will make it possible for you to take the discussion beyond the scheduled workshop and continue sharing your ideas with like-minded teachers and teacher trainers from other countries
