In this workshop, we will showcase a number of free web resources and tools which can be used to practise listening and speaking skills in any context.

First, we will focus particularly on Vocaroo, SpeakPipe and Recordmp3online.com which allow students to record speaking homeworks and for teachers to give audio feedback.

Next, we will look at QWIQR for conversation practice asynchronously or face to face.

Finally, we will demonstrate how Wheel of Names can be used to pick student names randomly as well as practise chunks of language, sentence starters, subject pronouns, infinitives etc as a prompt for speaking or writing.

Presented by Joe Dale – Modern Foreign Languages Guru, Technology & Language Learning Expert.

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
