Task cycle: disintegrated teaching steps or meaningful connections? – Online workshop for English teachers

Hey, teacher! 👋

We are glad to invite you to our final workshop of this year "Task cycle: disintegrated teaching steps or meaningful connections?" on 22th December!

Everyone knows this teaching mantra that instructions should be simple and graded, students' activity should be monitored actively and closely and that feedback on tasks should be snappy and useful.

We often treat these steps of a task (instructions, monitoring and feedback) as somewhat disconnected classroom routines, which might make our teaching mechanical and are likely to lead to lowered student performance. However, if to take a broader look, together they make a task cycle and are viewed as part of a single unit (task), and in this way each of them gets an additional powerful meaning. 

In our 90-minute workshop, we will look at what effective teaching (and planning) decisions to make to ensure a well-connected and meaningful task cycle and:

  • how to prepare and deliver contextualised instructions having in mind the end result;

  • how to monitor purposefully and help students learn;

  • what is evidence of learning and how monitoring informs feedback;

  • how to provide feedback that feeds both back and forward.

💡 This workshop will be useful both for pre-CELTA teachers and those who have experience of post-CELTA teaching.
