Power to the (young) people!: The content-rich, student-led classroom

Teens and higher level students can share the same source of demotivation: a creeping sensation of not making genuine progress, not learning anything useful. This workshop will look at a series of content-rich, student-led activities that allow for a real sense of achievement and development, plenty of authentic interaction and language practice, and for the teacher to identify any gaps in knowledge so that we can be truly supportive of – and useful to! - our C1, C2 and teenaged learners.
