The first Eaquals Teacher training seminar in
Greece was organised by Bourtsoukli Language Centre in Tripoli on 22nd
October 2016.
Revisiting the
core elements of receptive skills was the theme of the event giving participant
teachers an insightful look into the way Reading and Listening skills should be
taught in the classroom. Jo Watson, an experienced Eaquals Trainer ran the
session in the form of a workshop, keeping attendees actively engaged in a
variety of stimulating activities.
The whole
session had a direct impact on teachers’ professional development and their
teaching competences. Not only did they reflect on their own teaching practices
but also explored how to help learners develop their Reading and Listening
skills through well-designed tasks and classroom interaction.
The innovation
of this workshop was that it was being broadcast through a platform via
live-streaming as a webinar, thus distant QLS members and their teaching staff
could watch it live. Also, online participants could take part in the workshop
as all handouts were available to them online, as well.
Participants
were also informed about the use of EPG (European Profiling Grid) and its
implementation as well as Eaquals. Undoubtedly, Training sessions like this,
deepen teachers’ subject knowledge and renew their passion for the joy of
teaching.
Sincere thanks
to everyone who made this event such a success (Eaquals, QLS, Burlington Books,
Deree College, Cosmolearn).
Looking
forward to organising
the next one‼
