Republican methodical training seminar was held at L.N. Gumilyov ENU on November 26, 2018

“An interactive, hands-on approach to teaching and learning” was the title of the Republican methodical training seminar for English teachers of higher educational institutions of Astana city which was held on November 26, 2018 at L.N. Gumilyov ENU.

Teachers from different universities of Astana gathered at ENU to interchange their professional skills and practise some alternative tasks that will bring significant diversity to the routine process of teaching English.

 

Paul Woodfall, an international lecturer from Oxford University Press, vividly demonstrated the methodology, resources, and other materials that are actively used for the professional development of university professors.

Interactive training allowed teachers to take a different look at Oxford Press’s textbooks, to be creative in planning lessons, motivating students to think critically. Giving dynamics to the classes, making them more exciting for the students is the task of the teacher, which is easily solved by using handouts, introducing student-oriented activities and interactive hands-on tasks.
