Creative teaching for 21^st century learners

Barbara Hoskins Sakamoto

There’s a lot of talk these days about including 21^st century skills in language classes. What are these skills, and do they have any place in a language class where teachers have limited contact time, and the priority is, still, to teach English? In this workshop, teachers will learn teaching techniques to help their learners become strong English users and also critical and creative thinkers. By making every moment of class time count, teachers can help students succeed – on exams and in future jobs. Teachers can build both the traditional four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) and the 21^st century 4Cs (communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking) in every class.
