Webinar for Teachers Programme

Creating lesson aims that support progress for young learners

Tuesday 10th February, 11:00 (CET)
Thursday 12th February, 17:00 (CET)

Great teaching starts with great lesson design. But how can you plan effective lessons quickly and easily? In this session, we’ll go through the whole lesson design process for a young learner class, from learning aims, to materials and activity selection, through to consideration of feedback and tailored follow-up. You’ll learn what to prioritise so that your learners always leave their lessons better than when they arrived!

Delivering feedback that moves learning forward for secondary learners

Tuesday 24th February, 11:00 (CET)
Thursday 26th February, 17:00 (CET)

Effective feedback is one of the most powerful tools for improving student outcomes, yet not all feedback leads to meaningful progress. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to provide actionable feedback that empowers secondary learners to take ownership of their learning and make measurable improvements. You’ll learn practical strategies for crafting feedback that is clear, specific, and focused on next steps. – Feedback that doesn’t just evaluate but actively moves learning forward. We’ll also discuss managing feedback in large classes and how to avoid feedback that overwhelms or disengages students. By the end of this session, you’ll have a toolkit of evidence-based approaches to transform feedback into a catalyst for growth in your classroom.

Effective strategies for teaching and assessing writing at C1 Advanced level

Tuesday 24th March, 11:00 (CET)
Thursday 26th March, 17:00 (CET)

Helping learners succeed in writing at C1 Advanced level requires more than just teaching language – it involves understanding what examiners look for and how to guide students toward meeting those expectations. We’ll examine the key assessment scales and look at what they mean in practice. Using real sample answers and examiner comments, we’ll analyse what makes a strong response. You will gain insights into how to apply these criteria consistently when marking, and how to give constructive feedback that helps learners improve.
