My workshop “What Lies Within: Helping Students Communicate Effectively and Affectively” is a blend between these two subthemes:
2) Methodologies and teaching approaches
9) Digital literacies/language learning and technology
Workshop abstract
Today, more than ever, with technology all around us, it is paramount for us teachers to include it in our lessons but remembering to appeal to our students’ hearts and intellect when it comes to designing engaging activities that will complement the course books. The use of “feel-thinking” activities will engage our students effectively and “affectively”, enabling them to express themselves meaningfully while enjoying their learning process. Let’s have a look-see at many ideas and activities that will invite our students’ creative and critical thinking skills to come to light as well as their feelings and emotions to come to life.
