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 online workshop shows English and ESL teachers how to move beyond basic AI worksheet generation and build a systematic process for evaluating and improving what AI produces. You will construct detailed, research-informed quality criteria, run structured review loops, and learn how to update or differentiate materials without losing the format you want to keep. Suitable for any teacher who already uses AI to create or adapt teaching materials and wants more reliable, classroom-ready results.

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.

In this interactive 90-minute workshop, you’ll look at how to make more thoughtful, learner-sensitive choices about feedback and error correction. You’ll work through the Five Ps corrective-feedback framework, try out self-, peer- and teacher-correction techniques, and apply them to a real classroom case study. You’ll leave with practical, evidence-informed approaches you can use straight away, whatever context or level you teach. The workshop is suitable whether you’re training to teach, early in your career or already an experienced teacher.

If you’re teaching young learners and want phonics to feel clear, manageable and enjoyable, this interactive workshop will give you a practical framework to work from. You’ll look at how to help children make sense of the relationship between letters and sounds, plan a logical sequence for introducing phonics, and choose practical activities and resources that keep learners engaged. You’ll leave with ideas you can take straight into your next lesson.

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.

If you’re curious about the Trinity CertTESOL course – or you’d simply like to pick up some fresh ideas for teaching vocabulary – this interactive online workshop is a great place to start.

You’ll experience an input session much like those on the course, looking at practical ways to elicit vocabulary and check learners’ understanding through concept-checking questions (CCQs). You’ll also meet a course tutor, get a feel for how CertTESOL sessions are run, and have plenty of time to ask questions about the course

This interactive online workshop gives you a chance to join a Trinity CertTESOL-style input session and take a closer look at how English tenses work. You’ll practise analysing time and aspect in real examples, then consider how to make grammar clearer and more accessible for your learners.

We’ll look at practical ways to present the meaning, pronunciation and form of different tenses. You’ll also meet a course tutor, see how CertTESOL sessions are run, and have time to ask any questions about the course.
