The Power of Play: Developing Language through Play

Play is the most natural teaching tool there is and its purpose is to help the young prepare for adult life. It allows language learners to experience and experiment with language in a context that is safe and in a format they can understand. By integrating games into our classrooms, we increase students’ motivation, activate their bodies to permit kinesthetic learning, and develop their social skills by teaching students the value of effective collaboration. Games can be used to revive a lethargic classroom by providing opportunities for recently learned words and language structures to be reviewed in a fun way. Structured play in the classroom is not time-off from learning – it ensures that learning happens.

It’s the way that you say it: verbal and non-verbal communication 

The success or failure of real life communication is often decided by non-verbal factors. If our learners are to interact confidently and effectively, they must be aware of the impact that their tone of voice, body language and appearance have on their audience. In this session, we look at practical ways we can help our learners improve this often-neglected component of their communicative competence.
