Thinking skills are life skills

ELTons webinars: 2015 winner of the ELTon award for Innovation in Teacher Resources

We are pleased to bring you a series of webinars showcasing ideas from the 2015 ELTons winning innovations. Here we present the 2015 winner of the ELTon award for Innovation in Teacher Resources.
Date: Thursday 3 March, 2016
Time: 16.00 UK time. Find out the time where you are.
 
Theme: All teachers want their students to be successful but are we including thinking skills, that will become life skills, with the four skills we are most comfortable teaching? This workshop will give ideas for helping students feel more confident in their English skills and get them thinking more about the information they are presented with, what that information is aiming to convey and ideas on how they become analytical in considering what they see and hear. These skills are not just essential in the classroom but are becoming a key to success – either in employment or Higher Education.

About the speaker - Carol Higho

I have been working within English Language teaching for over 20 years. I started as a Primary school teacher in the UK, had eleven amazing years working in Asia, have been a development editor, materials writer and now Head of Product marketing at Macmillan. I’m very fortunate to have seen EFL teaching from both the classroom and the office. I’m looking forward to this webinar and sharing the delights of Thinking Skills are Life Skills with you.
