Introduction
Textploitation was born out of a shared frustration of seeing teachers having to source pages and pages of materials for their lessons. We could see coursebooks with beautiful texts that were rich with language and skills just waiting to be exploited being ignored once comprehension had been checked. We wanted to show that a single text could be used as the basis for a whole lesson.
Over the years, however, Textploitation has grown into more than just strategies for using a single text for an entire lesson, it has become an approach which helps to create learners to get the most from the text they encounter every day in their lives. After all, our learners are surrounded by texts everywhere they go; with phones they have access to texts from around the world, it is our job to equip them with the tools they need to exploit and learn from these texts. Autonomy has to be the end goal.

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

Textploitation
Hi, I just gave my first class using textploitation. My talking time was minimal and the feedback was great. Very enjoyable class for me and the student.
How to get the most from you texts
An excellent presentation, extremely interesting and open to very good discussions. Most enjoyable and knowledgable team who presented their views and shared their experiences on how to maximise the use of texts. Thank you very much David and Mark.
