language schools, vocational schools; workshop
The main goal of the presentation is to provide the participants with the general
theoretical background, easy to follow steps, practical examples and inspiration for those
who might be considering to embark with their own students on a demanding but very
rewarding journey of using experiential learning for English teaching. We will also try a
few activities together and see how (and if) they work :)

CREATING A DIGITAL BOOK
Modern technology in ELT; all levels; workshop
Reading is a thing of the past. Teachers must come up with new ideas to stimulate
students’ creativity and desire for reading. How can teachers shake up the way their
students read? A national online project “One country – many stories” has provided a
solution to the problem and joined many teams from various schools of Lithuania. The
project has changed the students’ attitude towards reading, developed their IT skills and
gave an opportunity to enhance their creativity and writing skills. The workshop is aimed
at sharing the experience of working on the project, which involved school teams
designing e-books consisting of illustrated stories. Participants will be able to try out the
tools of Joomag programme and create their own e-book.
JAKUB HANKIEWICZ, ROOM 59
THE CULTURAL IMPACT OF TEACHING
Culture in ELT; adult, language schools; talk; James Cook Languages
The first thing that we want to teach our students is obviously the language. Yet we
inevitably also communicate other things: our attitude and the activities and topics we
choose are messages our students receive from us. This session will discuss these as
potential dangers, as well as potential opportunities.
