Don’t Waste my Time! Keeping Adult Students with You |
Adult students often have an idea of what their goals are. They want results now, but they don’t know what they need to do to get them! When the going gets tough, do our students keep working or do they give up? Here, we will cover strategies to help students prioritize English, move towards long-term goals and trust the teacher’s expertise along the way!

The fine line between listening and understanding: the power of implying in English |
In this talk, we are going to take a look at communication skills we teach our students through our English lessons. We know that "how we say" is as important to "what we say" to carry our message across effectively. This applies to the personal and professional relationships, as well as to the oral, written or online communication our students will experience throughout their lives. Our language lessons are an ideal area for our students to learn, practice and develop these communication skills. Together, we will take a look at a few of these soft skills present in our lessons, as well as activities and strategies to practice and develop these in our students."
