SessionsSessions
Schuyler Hedstrom Move to the music: musical activities to
strengthen your classroom (6 to 12-year-olds)
As an inspiration for creative play or as a memory-enhancing
technique, music and singing will increase your pupils’ vocabulary,
collaboration, and general happiness in the classroom. By
incorporating arts and crafts activities, and by using music
from different genres (classical, rock, country), this session will
provide practical ideas to promote essential life skills which will
have rewarding effects on the classroom environment.
Will Varney Projects: a route to cross curricular success
(3 to 6-year-olds)
Project work is an effective way of developing childrens’ curiosity
about the world around them.
In this session we will provide a clearly-staged structure to
introduce children to cross curricular topics. This will allow them
to develop not only language skills but also learning skills that
will help to prepare them for cross curricular learning later in the
Primary classroom. From ideas for involving parents to suggestions
for incorporating cooperative learning techniques, this session will
demonstrate how to make the most of project work to extend
childrens’ knowledge, understanding and skills beyond the
classroom.
Schuyler Hedstrom The words we use: improve your pupils’ English written work
(8 to 12-year-olds)
Writing is one of the key skills in second language acquisition
and requires time in the classroom. By focusing on creative
writing such as stories and poems, figurative language such as
metaphors and alliteration, and letter writing, this session will
provide specific writing activities to inspire individual creation,
pair work, peer critique, and group writing.

customize those traditional activities that you probably already
know and might be using regularly so as to make them more
engaging for students.
We’ll be exploring some well-known programmes such as

and others you may never have heard of to discover part of the
wide range of possibilities they offer the ELT teacher.
