Boosting learner engagement in speaking activities

Описание: Many learners hesitate to speak due to fear of making mistakes, low confidence or lack of clear purpose.

In this webinar, we share practical strategies from Inga's exploratory action research that successfully helped increase learner engagement in speaking activities.

You learn how techniques like pre-teaching vocabulary, regrouping and round robin-discussions can lower barriers and create a more supportive classroom environment.

This session's speaker, Inga Mdivani, is an experienced English teacher and foreign languages coordinator at a secondary school in Tbilisi, Georgia. She also holds a qualification as an English language interpreter and translator. She is an exploratory action research mentor with the British Council and is a strong advocate for professional development. Inga was mentored by TeachingEnglish in 2025 and spoke at our Developing as teachers webinar event, on our How can we develop as teachers? panel discussion.
