“It’s time to level up!” - A spotlight on improving our teaching of teens

 

Thursday 11th December 2025 | 3-4pm (London time)

The questions we shall focus on in this interactive webinar are: How can we get better after that initial period of two, five or even ten years of teaching teens? What is advanced methodology for teens teaching, if even there such a thing?

By the end of the session, participants will have a clear set of directions in which to take their own teens teaching should they choose to do so, or options to suggest to their teachers, if they occupy a supporting role such as co-ordinator, senior teacher, director of studies or school owner. Suitable for all language teachers of teenagers, including those who teach languages other than English, and all experience levels, including new teachers and seasoned veterans.
