Teaching English in Public Schools: Mission Impossible?

Teachers who teach EFL in public schools often complain about difficulties such as lack of teaching resources, lack of motivation from the students and a very low level of proficiency, which makes it almost impossible to carry out communicative activities in the classroom. This workshop intends to show, by sharing experiences the presenter had in public schools, that although teaching EFL in public schools is probably one of the most challenging (and sometimes frustrating) jobs one can have, it is far from being “Mission Impossible”. The presenter will suggest activities which require minimum proficiency, as well as free (or very cheap) resources some teachers overlook.

Language games for all ages
