  We often hear that many teachers face difficulties because there are huge differences between speaking and teaching content in English, such as different points to pay attention to, etc. Also, teaching in English involves encouraging students to understand and speak in English and promoting learning at the same time. As you can see, there are more concerns when conducting classes in English than you might initially imagine. However, you don’t have to keep them only to yourself.

  We will therefore hold a meeting for teachers who are already giving classes in English and/or who are planning to do so to share their worries and concerns as well as practices. The group work will be a good opportunity for the participants to collaborate and find solutions together. Take this chance to start your own efforts to enhance your Teaching in English by sharing with other participants what can be utilized and how to overcome the challenges. In addition, the workshop lecturer will share some practical classroom examples, and there will be some time to exchange opinions among participants.

  After the seminar, there will be a networking session including Q&A with the lecturer.  We encourage you to join us for this opportunity to further enhance your English communication skills and expand your professional network.
