Workshop Title: How to Teach 21st Century Skills

Registration: https://forms.gle/t3u89JJ7ADVnk99r8

Abstract

Are you a 21st Century teacher? A few years ago, the idea of 21st Century skills hit the ELT scene and it caused quite a stir. Some educators loved the idea of transforming the traditional ELT classroom into an oasis of modern learning. Others scoffed at the idea: how could 21st Century skills be any different to those in 1999? That stir has long lost its motion and now it is widely accepted that all (good) lessons should incorporate such skills. Whether they are unique to this century or not, educators everywhere are encouraged to include them. In this talk, we will not only cover what 21st Century skills are, but also look at numerous, practical ways to use them in our lesson plans.
