Spring 2023 Workshop
The CATESOL OC Chapter Spring 2023 Workshop: Beginnings, Endings, and the Routines in Between: Structuring ESL Classes for Success
Speaker & Session
All classes have beginnings, but they do not all begin well. And a class that ends poorly can undo much of the good that came before. This workshop will examine the life cycle of an effective ESL course from start to finish, focusing on strategies that can help us to:
• begin well by reaching out to students, setting the tone for the term, and fostering positive group dynamics,
• manage day-to-day lessons through routines and “high structure” strategies that increase efficient use of time and facilitate learning, and
• close our course with principles like the peak-end rule in mind, so that we can consolidate learning and inspire students to further accomplishments well into the future.
If you have ever taught an ESL class that had a beginning, middle, and/or end, and if you ever wanted to explore ways of managing those stages more effectively, this is the session for you. Teachers of all levels of ESL/EFL in all environments (face-to-face, online, IEP, community college, etc.) are welcome.
