Hub digest – 18th June, 2021

What a week it’s been in the Hub! There was some great chat on Tuesday in our Focused Forum as we chatted about how to plan conversation classes. The discussion ranged from what exactly we think of as a conversation class, where to find resources and how to measure progress. You can find the notes for the session on the blog.

Then our Wednesday Question was a little different this week as it was an answer rather than a question. The inspiration came from seeing the activity shared on LinkedIn: give your learners an answer and encourage them to write as many questions as possible. There were some great ideas in the Facebook group, including

  • What colour was Prince’s rain?
  • What should I wear when I am an old woman, with a red hat which doesn’t go and doesn’t suit me?
  • What colour is the tastiest fruit pastille?

Next up, on Thursday, we had a fabulous webinar with Elen Evans of STEM Ginger Education. She talked us through some key concepts in CLIL, shared a folder where she’s set up a space to share resources and introduced us to some of the amazing projects she’s done with students from around the world. The notes will be coming shortly but in the menatime, you can watch the webinar on #catchup if you missed it.

And, finally, we announced that the website is now live! What an exciting way to end the week!

Coming up next week, we have a Monthly Management Meet Up on Tuesday and then the Coffee Breaks on Thursday. Hope to see you there!
