Upcoming workshops

This practical online workshop shows English and ESL teachers how to build a custom AI lesson planning assistant that knows their class, their coursebook, and their preferred lesson format - so they stop getting generic plans and start getting useful ones. You will create four key reference documents, set up your assistant in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Poe, and test it with real planning tasks. No coding required. Suitable for teachers at any career stage who plan from a coursebook or syllabus.

This practical 90-minute workshop is designed for kindergarten and primary teachers who want clearer strategies for managing challenging behaviour. You will work through the Seven Rs framework, explore how to set up routines and rules that stick, and discover motivation techniques grounded in both extrinsic and intrinsic reward. Suitable for teachers at every career stage, from fresh graduates to experienced practitioners working in Hong Kong local and international school settings.

New Year, New Start: Essential Classroom Practices for ESL-Focused Primary Teaching is a fast-paced, practical professional development workshop designed for teachers working in Hong Kong’s busy primary classrooms. Perfect for teachers with TESOL, CELTA, ESL, or general teacher-training backgrounds, this CPD session equips you with classroom systems, language routines, and behaviour structures that make the first weeks of school smoother and more successful. Learn how to support ESL and EAL learners from day one using simple, low-prep tools, mixed-ability strategies, and resource-light hacks that boost learning without increasing your workload.

One of the biggest myths in teaching English is that writing is a purely silent and focused activity. In this workshop, we will learn to make writing an engaging and communicative experience where multiple skills are being developed simultaneously. This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about the Trinity CertTESOL or would like to sharpen their writing teaching skills.

In this interactive phonology workshop, you will experience a typical input session on the CertTESOL as we discover how understanding word stress benefits learners of English and adds a new set of tools for teachers to use in their classroom.

You will also get the chance to get some first-hand experience with the ways that input sessions are delivered on the CertTESOL course, meet a course tutor and have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the course.
