The 4th Middle School Seminar
31th January - 2th February, 2010 - Eljadida

"Innovative Practices in Teaching Young Learners"

It has now been a tradition in MATE to organize a seminar for middle school teachers each year. The benefits of such a tradition have gone beyond our expectations. Teachers have expressed their appreciation of such an event, being an opportunity to share, learn from each other, and get inspiration from more experienced professionals in the field of ELT. In addition to other colloquia and seminars, MATE middle school seminar has helped teachers become more confident, autonomous and creative. However, one of the areas that this seminar has not fully investigated is how to promote teacher creativity and innovation in teaching young learners. The workshops and presentations will tackle ways and means of going beyond the textbooks, while keeping within the standards and goals of language education in middle schools, maintaining student motivation and interest.
