An Online Course about Learning Tools

I receive countless emails from English teachers asking me for more examples of learning tools.

As you have seen, these interactive learning tools and materials that I have used and developed in my English classes over the past twenty-five years and demonstrated in the teacher training courses and workshops I have given around the world, promote speaking skills and literacy development. Apart from their pedagogic value, they also make learning English a lot of fun!

In answer to these emails, I have finally put together a 12- week, on- line course about these materials. The course begins on Thursday, October 1st and will finish on Thursday, December and you can be a part of it!!!

Course Materials
Every Tuesday, you will receive:

1. an email from me with the presentation, description and explanation of a new and innovative learning tool
2. a step-by-step instruction sheet on how to make the tool with your students
3. a photocopiable black-line master and/or activity sheet to make and work with the tool
4. four additional activity worksheets, one for pre-school students (ages 4 and 5), one for early primary (ages 6-8), one for middle primary (ages 8 -10)and one for upper primary (ages 10 -12)
5. a special holiday activity for Hallowe`en, Thanksgiving and Christmas to use with the learning tools
6. an evaluation score-sheet to assess on-the-spot, how well your students are working with the tool
7. a language list of the expressions and vocabulary you can use when working with each of the tools

Ask Theresa Questions and Answers Webinar
In addition to your weekly Tuesday email filled with materials, every Thursday night at 10:30 pm, Barcelona Spain time, I will host an hour-long, on-line seminar, where you can ask me any question about the learning tools and/or any other question related to your classes and students and I will answer it for you. The next day I will send you a summary list of those questions and my suggestions and answers to those questions. That´s 12, "Ask Theresa" webinars and follow-up emails.

Computer requirements
All you need is access to a normal computer (pc or mac), an email address, and an internet connection preferably wideband to receive and view the webinar, and a telephone line.

I am so very excited about offering this course to you. For years, teachers have asked me to give them more hands-on activities and the language they need to use these tools in the classroom on a more regular basis. Now, I can finally do that!

With this course, you will have the benefit of receiving my best and most effective learning tools that I have developed and worked on over the past twenty-five years in English classrooms and with teachers around the world!

You will also have the benefit of allowing me to accompany you during your first three months of this school year! Every week we will connect, exchange emails and come together for an on-line, Internet training course to do what we love best doing- talking about good teaching practices :-) :-)

12 simple and effective, hands-on, interactive, student-made learning tools which you can use in class with children ages 4 - 12
