Information Gaps

Information Gaps are excellent at getting students to interact with all four language domains.  Info Gaps encourage students to use language in order to communicate specific content to their peers.

Cooperative Learning

Getting students to work effectively with one another is not only a necessary career and college skill, it also makes everyone get more out of any activity.  Giving students specific roles empowers them by making everyone's responsibilities transparent.  It also helps them get more out of group work.

Mixing & Mingling

One of the most important things we can do as teachers is to encourage students to interact with one another in meaningful ways.  TESOL Trainers helps teachers understand how to get students to mingle about and to share both the content and the language with their peers.

Carousel of Learning

Learning doesn't always have to happen sitting in one's seat.  Creating a carousel of learning stations around the classroom adds movement & a change of pace to the learning environment.  It fosters autonomy.  TESOL Trainers helps teachers master the Carousel and other powerful techniques.
