      Primary school teachers are a foundation for English Language Learners in the country. Correcting errors from the beginning sets a strong language foundation. (Primary Wing, Presenter: Kessia Kiwia)

    • Classroom Management

      Is your class twenty all spaced or hundred squeezed students type of class? Whatever the number is, failure to manage your class makes it a large one. (Secondary Wing, Presenter: David Sanga)

    • Understanding and using homophones, synonyms and antonyms in speaking and writing

      English language can be challenging, especially when many words are pronounced the same, but have different meanings and sometimes different spellings. There are also many different words that convey a similar meaning. This workshop will give the participant a better understanding of these words and when to use in speaking and writing. (Secondary Wing, Presenter: Professor, Dr Thomas Smith)

    • Competence and pedagogy techniques for secondary school teachers

      Becoming competent in various teaching techniques and strategies is critical for helping students achieve their maximum learning potential. This workshop is very practical and participates will learn many new techniques they can immediately use with their students. (Secondary Wing, Presenter: Ali Hassan)

    • Teaching the four skills of English language usage for secondary school teachers

      The four uses of language – listening, speaking, reading and writing – are the key cornerstones for using any language. This workshop presents the why, what, where, when and how to make sure that your students are developing in the use of all of these four skills. (Secondary Wing, Present Charles Msumuli
