What do successful readers do? As teachers, we’re often guilty of testing our students’ reading abilities through comprehension questions, without actually supporting them to become better readers. But where should we start? How can you move beyond a comprehension focus and help students to become the best readers of English that they can be? What might be stopping them from developing? In this webinar, I’ll aim to answer all of these questions, by looking at what good readers do and demonstrating how to support students to build those skills for themselves. Presented at the 30th PARK conference, Brno, Czechia

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/eltabb2024 If you’re anything like me, you’ve produced a lot of materials for your learners, whether that’s a worksheet, a PowerPoint presentation, or a video. You’ve also had very little training in materials writing, and have learnt what you know by trial and error, with the occasional bit of feedback from learners, other teachers or maybe even an editor. This is why I put together a competency framework specifically dedicated to materials writing for language learning. In this session, we’ll look at what the framework is and how you can use it to produce better quality materials for your learners.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/braztesolmawsig Abstract As teachers, we can feel a difference when we’re teaching from materials which seem to ‘flow’ perfectly compared to materials which don’t. However, when we create our own materials, it can be difficult to find that same flow. In this talk, I’ll show you techniques to make your materials flow, including through the use of scaffolding for productive tasks, and the exploitation of a single exercise in a range of different ways. Bio Sandy is a freelance ELT consultant, teacher trainer, and materials writer. She writes a blog at http://sandymillin.wordpress.com and tweets @sandymillin. She is currently researching the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are needed for effective materials writing, as part of her MA dissertation. Sandy has self-published three books. She has also written for various publishers, including contributing to workbooks for National Geographic’s Keynote series and being a co-author on The CELTA Course Trainee Book and Trainer’s Manual Second Edition. She is an IATEFL ambassador.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iatefl23 Recent years have seen a growth in both online teaching and technology use in language education, with an impact on the needs of trainee teachers. This talk will address what trainee teachers need to know, drawing on content from the new edition of 'The CELTA Course' trainee and trainer books, which I have co-authored with Peter Watkins and Scott Thornbury.

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/ihbucharest21 Bridging the gap between classroom and real-world listening “I've studied English for years, but I can't understand anyone!” This was a common complaint from students I worked with in the UK. Inspired by their problems and the work of John Field and Richard Cauldwell, this workshop aims to introduce you to practical activities and materials you can use to help students transition from understanding scripted listening materials to feeling comfortable with real-world English.
