Guilty Secrets: Unfashionable but Effective Teaching Techniques
Dorothy Zemach has taught ESL for over 18 years in Asia, Africa, and the US. She currently concentrates on writing, editing, and publishing ELT materials and textbooks among which are Macmillan Education Skillful and Mind Series, Get Ready for Business and Academic Writing Series. A frequent plenary speaker at international conferences
Trends in language teaching come and go; but does learning itself change all that much? In this talk, I’ll share some love for some “nobody does that anymore” techniques that nevertheless result in solid, efficient learning, and make an argument for focusing on results first when evaluating new (and old) approaches.

Critical thinking makes sense!
Grzegorz Spiewak - MA in Linguistics, Ph.D in English & Linguistics, the president of IATEFL Poland
We are living in an age of information. In fact, we are being bombarded with all kinds of text: verbal and non-verbal, static and dynamic. It takes time, effort and skill to cope with so much data. That’s where critical thinking comes in. It is a vital skill for 21st global citizens and above all for modern university students. Critical thinking is about processing complex information efficiently, evaluating its value and relevance, and above all spotting various kinds of hidden messages and agendas behind what we read, look at, watch or listen to.
During this session we’ll introduce the concept of critical thinking as a key academic skill and explore its potential in the modern ELT classroom at tertiary level, as a way to tackle otherwise familiar topics and issues, and give them a fresh relevance. Needless to add, it’s all in the service of producing more stimulating, engaging, and effective class sequences, promoting the development of both receptive and productive language skills.

Reading Between the Lines (аудитория 31)
Ekaterina Chistovskaya, Ph.D. in Linguistics, associated professor in MRSU
Inferring or 'reading between the lines' is crucial in reading comprehension. Efficient readers are supposed to infer meaning which is not explicitly stated in the text (either in fiction or mass media). The aim of this workshop is to focus on materials teaches can chose or create themselves to encourage students to interact with texts and to develop reading and critical thinking skills.
