Gunma Chapter

How can we break students out of their cycle of failure brought on by feelings of inadequacy? How can we inspire drive, encourage success and nurture personal growth? How can we take critical thinking to the next level so it deepens learning and leads to real-world action and changes in behavior? Why is this essential for language learning? Participants will explore these questions before being introduced to a variety of projects and activities designed for Active Skills For Communication but appropriate for any classroom where teachers wish to promote success, growth and active learning. Come try some.
