Introduction
Join us for the first TeachingEnglish South Asia webinar of 2025! This engaging, interactive session will focus on lesson planning, drawing on key insights from last year's webinars. We’ll revisit topics such as unlocking language through storytelling, creating inclusive classrooms for students with special educational needs, using multimodal techniques to engage learners, and teaching functional language. Together, we will design a lesson that incorporates best practices and the expert advice shared by previous panellists. Our goal is to inspire meaningful discussions on effective lesson planning, activity design, and the seamless integration of training into everyday teaching practice.
Event description
Wendy Naylor is joined by colleagues Rehab Ali from Pakistan, and Michelle Bambawale based in India - both freelance consultants on the TeachingEnglish South Asia webinar team, with experience in teaching and training. The three of them rise to the challenge of implementing key takeaways from the previous webinars, demonstrating ways to enhance learning outcomes, improve student engagement, and promote inclusive practices in lessons. Additionally, this webinar explores effective lesson planning, by emphasising the importance of writing clear lesson aims, structuring lesson stages, and setting learning objectives for individual activities. By revisiting key takeaways from earlier webinars and integrating them into a well-crafted lesson plan, we encourage an adaptive teaching approach—an ideal way to kick off the new year with fresh ideas and strategies in the first webinar of 2025!
