Working humanistically – Seven practical activities
We live in an increasingly technological world with all its wonderous gadgetry. Kahoots, Quizlets, Mentimeters, Padlets etc are everywhere, and, of course, they offer teachers many exciting options. However, over-reliance on such tools can lead to gimmickry and “edutainment” at the expense of real person-to-person engagement. In this workshop you will participate in seven creative activities which ensure that you are at the very epicentre of the learning process.
Simon Marshall has worked as an ELT teacher, trainer, and academic manager for more than 40 years for various organisations, including York St. John University, Pilgrims, International House and the British Council. He is particularly interested in the principled application of Humanistic Approaches to language teaching and teacher development. He is also a keen etymologist and reader of philosophy and psychology.

From disruption to direction: our future skill set
2026-03-07 10:00 - 13:30
Now that the first feeding frenzy of AI is over, we need to think about how to manage disruptions and develop skill sets that will help us thrive in our profession. Therefore, this webinar aims to enable English trainers and teachers to assess future risks, identify emerging skill sets and develop strategies for long-term professional resilience.
In this webinar, participants will collaborate in small groups to explore a number of questions in a risk assessment of the disruptions we’re facing in our profession. In the second round, the groups will do a needs analysis and explore what skills can help us navigate the evolving demands of our roles over the next few years.
After the group work, we’ll reflect together on the direction we need to take and the tools that will support us in staying relevant, effective and empowered in a rapidly changing professional environment.
An online whiteboard will help to visualise ideas and provide additional information that the groups can use in their discussions.
