ABSTRACT

Students spend an average of 7 hours per day stuck inside of a classroom learning a lot of things they probably won't use in their daily live. Even in language classes, although language teachers are ahead of the curve, students will still spend a lot of time at their desks filling in workbooks. In this session we will take a look at how you can adapt your coursebook material into engaging and real life activities that take place outside of your classroom.
