Photos are amazing tools for education. Unlike traditional texts, photos are graded content. Learners can use their existing language resources to describe them. Photos are easier to access (and take!) than ever before, offering a huge variety of resources for teachers. This makes photos ideal for bringing variety into your classes and encouraging communication. In this session, you will describe photos and speculate about what’s going on in photos. You'll talk about which photos you like and dislike, and even lie to your classmates about photos! We’ll use photos to practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Craft-based activities can be an effective way to incorporate creativity into the language classroom.

We cover a range of different crafts and look at ways to incorporate them into classes to meet your lesson aims.
