English Language Teachers Workshops



( ELT Workshops)






Mr. / Girgis






(1-Making a workshop )



Presenting a workshop:



“presenting a workshop is a form of teaching


 in which you invite those in attendance


 (participants) to interact with you and each


other in the exploration of a professional issue,


 curriculum content, or instructional methodology.



 




Planning a workshop:


Choosing a topic


First, choose a topic that is workshop- friendly.


This means you need a hands-on topic that


allows your participants to carry out


activities and engage in discussion.


 For instance, a topic that


demonstrates how to conduct interactive


 reading activities would be good for a workshop.



 



Attending a workshop:


One of the best ways to prepare for your


workshop is to attend other workshops.


 Make notes about what went well and why.


What did you like or dislike about how the


 presenter conducted the workshop?



What kinds of problems did you see that


 you would want to avoid in your own workshop?


 For example, I have liked workshops with


 well-prepared and confident speakers


who knew how to manage time and offered


the audience techniques they could add to


 their teaching repertoire.


 




Practicing workshop:



Practice your workshop before you deliver it


 professionally. An ideal practice audience


 would be other English teachers since they


 can respond to your content in an authentic


 fashion.



If unable to secure an audience of English


teaching professionals, you might be able


to coax friends or family members to act as


 participants for a rehearsal



 


 

Provide hands out for participants


:

Prepare a handout that outlines the activities


 or processes you will cover so that participants


 can reenact the activities at a later date.


 Simply providing a copy of PowerPoint


 slides is not always enough since much


of what you actually do in your workshop


 will not be on the slides. Make sure you


bring more than enough handouts for participants.



 



Parts of a workshop:



A workshop (or presentation) should have


a clear beginning (introduction and warm-up),


 middle (body), and end


(conclusion and question-answer session).



Introduction:


When you start your workshop, introduce


 yourself and state your affiliation.


Thank your participants for attending your


workshop. Present the title of your workshop,


and give a brief introduction of your topic.


Let your workshop participants know the


 expected outcomes of your workshop so


 that they will have an idea of what learning


or skills development they will take away.



 



Warm up:



Warm-up activities are ice-breakers that help


 participants get acquainted and feel more


relaxed with one another before the main part


 of the workshop begins.




Warm-ups also serve as a diagnostic for your


workshop, helping you to learn a bit about what


 the participants know about your topic



 



Middle stage :



Group Work:



Remember that a workshop needs to involve


active learning, not just passive listening, and


 the challenge is to keep participants engaged.


In the body of your workshop, allow time for


 pair, small-group, and whole-group discussion


as you run your activities.



 



Managing Time:


Before you plan your workshop, check the time


 allotment carefully. Time allowed for workshops


 is typically 40 to 50 minutes, but


can be as little as 15 to 20 minutes, and you could


be asked to deliver a workshop that is an hour


or longer.



 



Ending Stage:



At the end of your workshop, briefly go over


 what you covered. Make sure participants


know the names of the activities presented


and how they can conduct them in the future.




Allow time for questions and answers and final


comments. Get feedback from your participants


 on how the workshop went. Find out if your


proposed outcomes were achieved.


 Written feedback is, of course, always


 preferable if you want honest feedback.



 



  (2-Making a Presentation)



The steps are:



The topic is presented through a data show screen,


a projector and a computer. The time is from 30 to


 45 minutes. It starts with a warm up, self-introduction,


 the topic and ended by the attendants' questions


 comments and a written report.




1. Welcoming



Good morning and welcome to [name of company,

 name of conference hall, hotel, etc.].


Thank you all very much for coming today.


I hope you all had a pleasant journey here today.


 



2. Introducing yourself



My name is Mark Watson and I am responsible for … .


  • My name is Mark Watson from [name of company],

  • where I am responsible for …

  •  .Let me introduce myself;

  • my name is Mark Watson and I am responsible for … .




3. Introducing your presentation



The purpose of today’s presentation is to … .

  • The purpose of my presentation today is to … .

  • In today’s presentation I’d like to …

  •  show you … . / explain to you how … .

  • In today’s presentation I’m hoping to …

  • give you an update on… / give you an overview of … .

  • In today’s presentation I’m planning to … look at … . / explain … .


 


You can also outline your presentation to give


 the audience a clear overview of what they can expect:


In today’s presentation I’m hoping to cover three points:


  • firstly, … , after that we will look at … , and finally I’ll … .


  • In today’s presentation I’d like to cover three points:


  • firstly, … , secondly … , and finally … .


 


4. Explaining that there will be time for questions


at the end:


If you have any questions you’d like to ask, please leave


them until the end, when I’ll be happy to answer them.

If there are any questions you’d like to ask, please leave

them until the end, when I’ll do my best to answer them.


 




3-Making a Demonstration


Speech




Definition:


A demonstration speech is a form of informative


speech where the speaker’s primary purpose


is to teach the audience how to complete a


 task (or process), and this is largely


accomplished by demonstrating the task


 (or process) through a series of steps.


 It is a speech given for the purpose of telling and


 or showing how to do something. Often times


 they have visual aids and or hand outs including


 Power Point and Key Note presentations.




The steps:



The topic is presented through a data show screen,


a projector and a computer. The time is from 30 to


 45 minutes. It starts with a question that needs an


 answer or a problem that needs a solution.


 The topic is presented through asking questions


 and getting the attendants' answers to form the


content of the demonstration. It is followed by


the attendants' comments

 




4-Making a lecture



The steps:


1-Captivate students from the beginning


In secondary teacher training, one of the first


 things that teachers are taught is the concept


 of the ‘plenary’, otherwise know as the ‘starter’.



2-Organisaton is everything!


Preparing a lecture in advance also allows you


 time to research valuable resources, such as


 educational videos, YouTube clips, academic


 articles etc…



3-Be animated


Try to vary the intonation (pitch and tone) of your


 voice, it doesn’t matter how interesting the contents


, a monotone voice is guaranteed to send a lecture


 room full of students to sleep. Be conversational


 in tone. Use humor, since students are more


 motivated when they're having fun.



4-Adopt student centered learning strategies


Student-centered learning is all about placing the


student at the centre of the teaching process.


 It is making students an active and a responsible


 contributor in their own learning.  Teaching has


moved away from the ‘one size fits all’ pedagogy


 and instead now embraces the fact that students


 learn in different ways.




5-Question time


One of the most effective tools a lecturer has at


 their disposal and which ensures interaction, is


 to ask and encourage questions. Questions can


 be used as a plenary, can stimulate interaction


 throughout the lecture and can be used to re-visit


 content at the end.



 



6-Change can be good


I personally think that it is good to try new strategies


and new ways of doing things.  Not only for the


student’s interest, but also for our own It might be


 that the original way of doing something was


the best way.




7-Make the lecture interactive


An interactive lecture is one that includes and


encourages student participation.


Using techniques that encourage all students


 to contribute, helps to promote student retention


 and learning of the content presented during lecture.




8-Technology



My three favorite technological resources are: 


Power-Point which is great for summarizing key


points and presenting visual stimulus.


Educational videos are both engaging and informative.


 Finally, Virtual Learning Environments such as


 Moodle, which are great for ensuring that the


 students continue to be engaged with the


content after the lectures, have ended.




9-Student Feedback



Sometimes just saying to the students “what did


you think about the video I showed today?’


  Or “was that a useful resource?”


 Provides valuable feedback that you can use to


 inform future planning.




10-Closing Time:


The end of the lecture is also a good time to collect

any impromptu feedback. By ending your lectures

 well you have given students the chance to 'come

 full circle' by providing a: positive start, purposeful

middle and reflective end, all of which are key

 ingredients when creating a dynamic lecture.
