Workshop delle 11:30

I. GESE Grades 1,2,3 (2-skill examination Speaking & Listening) at CEFR level pre-A1, A1, A2.1

Trinity exams provide teachers with a motivational tool which encourages learners to develop and progress by acknowledging small steps. All learners make progress at different paces, and this workshop will focus on how teachers of young learners can approach and plan for a variety of practical activities based on Trinity’s graded system, thereby ensuring that at every stage of their students’ learning development there is an opportunity for them to mark that progress. Throughout the session participants will be invited to experiment with tasks that will help students prepare for successful performance in the Trinity GESE grades 1, 2 and 3 exams.

II. GESE Grades 4,5,6 (2-skill examination Speaking & Listening) at CEFR level A2, B1

With Trinity exams learners are able to take an active role in their own learning and achieve a sense of continuous progress which in turn motivates them towards further skill development. The exam’s unique structure engages students in areas related to their personal interests and experiences, which helps them to feel confident that they will perform at their best. In this workshop, teachers will participate in a variety of engaging activities and tasks that will encourage more natural and spontaneous communication while preparing candidates for both the conversation and topic tasks in the GESE grades 4,5,6 exams.

III. ISE I (4-skill examination Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing) at CEFR level B1

Trinity’s ISE exams reflect current trends in language teaching and also support strategies such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The exam tasks all reflect the kind of activities that the learner is expected to perform in the classroom. For students to develop communicative competence in Speaking & Listening and in Reading & Writing, classroom activities must reflect real-life tasks that involve meaningful communication. Trinity’s ISE I at B1 level supports the learning of the key skills required in real life communication needed for study at school or university and later for employment. In this workshop, we will be inviting participants to try out a number of take-away activities that can be used in the classroom to help students develop these skills.

IV. ISE II (4-skill examination Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing) at CEFR level B2

Trinity’s ISE exams reflect current trends in language teaching and also support strategies such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The exam tasks all reflect the kind of activities that the learner is expected to perform in the classroom. Equally, practising the tasks for the exam supports and advances the learning of key skills which are needed for the next stages of study or the world beyond school. Throughout the workshop, participants will engage in classroom activities that add a different dimension to learners’ ability to engage with written and oral texts, while practising the full repertoire of Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing skills required for the Trinity’s ISE II exam at B2 level.

Workshop delle 14:30

VI. GESE Grades 4,5,6 (2-skill examination Speaking & Listening) at CEFR level A2, B1

Repeat of morning workshop II.

VII. ISE Foundation (4-skill examination Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing) at CEFR level A2

Trinity’s ISE exams reflect current trends in language teaching and also support strategies such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). The exam tasks all reflect the kind of activities that the learner is expected to perform in the classroom. In this teacher training workshop we will focus on a set of learning strategies which will help students gain confidence in their ability to communicate in all 4 skills in English and improve their performance in the exam tasks. Throughout the workshop, participants will also be invited to experiment with a variety of activities that will help develop the skills that form the foundation of fluent Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing at A2 level.

VIII. GESE Grades 7-8-9 (2-skill examination Speaking & Listening) at CEFR level B2

The unique tasks in Trinity’s B2 level exams impose different demands on the learner’s speaking and listening abilities and are designed to elicit sociolinguistic and strategic skills as well as linguistic skills. In this teacher training workshop participants will be led in a variety of practical listening and speaking tasks that will focus on ways of developing the skills that enable learners to use language spontaneously by not only responding appropriately but also by initiating ‘turns’ in a conversation and controlling the direction of the interaction.
