Abstract

V originále

In this workshop we will look at some ways how to challenge students with less traditional tasks and activities or how to add spark to the old "goodies" and make them step out of their comfort zone. At the same time, we will see what we teachers can do to step out of our old ways and take some little ELT risks. The workshop is going to be highly interactive and hopefully, inspirational as well. The suggested activities tend to be holistic, not especially aimed at only one language skill, and can be easily adapted into different classroom settings.
