Cărturești invites you to an online ELT Back to School Training Day, featuring three dynamic sessions for every level:

12:00 – YLE Exam Prep Made Fun – for teachers of Young Learners
(Speaker: Vladimira Skopcova)

More and more young learners are aiming to learn English as well as to pass exams that prove their knowledge and prepare them for higher language qualifications. As all teachers know that “practice makes perfect”, there is a great need for various enjoyable and engaging activities and games. Let’s try some of them!

13:00 – Fun Ways to Boost Literacy in Your Classroom – for primary & pre-school teachers
(Speaker: Silvana Șerbănescu)

What do stories, crafts or theatre plays have in common? LITERACY- a super skill that lies at the foundation of any child’s sustainable education. Whether you are following a systematic progressive literacy programme in your school or not, this workshop will empower and inspire you to transfer and use fun and effective Jolly Learning literacy activities with your kindergarten and primary school students.

14:00 – Reaching Higher – for secondary school teachers who prepare students for Cambridge B2/C1/C2 exams
(Speaker: Daniela Clarke)

Are you looking for fresh ideas on how to start the school year with meaningful, fun and flexible activities? In this practical webinar we will look at how we can guide B2/C1/C2 learners to expand their vocabulary range and reach a higher level of language competence. We will explore teaching strategies that help learners build up lexis and examine ways to push them to use newly learned vocabulary in their productive skills.
