Тема вебінару: Creating a Safe Environment for Students to Learn their ABC (презентація нового посібника “ABC Explorers” ) 

Many young learners struggle to engage in the classroom when they don’t feel emotionally safe or connected. As teachers, one of our biggest challenges is helping students feel calm, supported, and ready to learn, especially in today’s world where stress and anxiety often get in the way of meaningful learning.

In this talk, we’ll explore how stress affects children’s ability to learn and how you can create a loving, inclusive classroom where your students feel safe and valued. I’ll share practical classroom management tips and explain how to teach the English alphabet using movement, rhythm, and repetition to make learning fun and lasting.

Тема вебінару: The Fun Formula: Balancing Accuracy, Fluency, and Joy in your lessons (за підручником “Academy Stars” 2 видання)

If you teach English to young learners, you likely have a long list of things you want your lessons to be: fun, engaging, meaningful, valuable, challenging, interesting…the list goes on! While all of these are important, the real question is what to do when you’re standing in your classroom with your students looking up at you, books open, ready to learn.

In this session, you will see how to balance accuracy, fluency and fun in your English lessons. We will also explore strategies to build long-term engagement, and go through my favourite exercises that help students learn the language as a tool to communicate, rather than ‘just’ a school subject. Come along to find out all the details!

Тема вебінару: Celebrating every child's success in the land of your English classroom (за підручником “Learning Lands”)

Every English classroom is filled with unique individuals. Even at the same age, children vary in maturity, school readiness, cognitive abilities, and life experiences. Recognizing this diversity is essential if we want to meet the needs of every-ability learner. For young language learners, the experience of success is highly motivating. It builds confidence and fuels the intrinsic drive vital for future learning. The question, as always, is how. 

In this practical session, we'll explore creative ways to work with diverse groups of young learners. We’ll look at how to adjust tasks to maintain motivation, whether your students need more support or greater challenge. We’ll also try out practical tools for managing attention, regulating energy, and controlling emotions. All of this aims to help you as the teacher manage classroom dynamics effectively, and create a positive, supportive environment where every student can succeed and enjoy learning English.
