Introduction
We all learnt to teach through coursebooks and other materials. It was how many of us really grasped the grammar points or learnt about connected speech and so much more.
But sometimes (we know we were guilty of it early on) we fall into the trap of moving from one activity to the next “covering” material without actually discussing the learning.
In this workshop, we will make the case for involving our learners in the discussion of their learning, involving them in the “why” of the lesson as opposed to just the “what”. We will suggest some key stages of the lesson and some practical activities you can put into practice immediately to make your lessons more overt.
Presented by David Byrne – Author, Curriculum Manager and Regional Academic Director @EC English and Mark Heffernan – Author & Teaching Fellow @Queen Mary University of London.

Preparing for the Workshop
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
