Planning and preparing resources for a class is an essential part of any teacher's life. It can be extremely time-consuming and a little stressful trying to prepare multiple plans for different classes with different needs and levels of ability. There are so many components of lesson planning- what to teach, how to teach it, how to engage students, how to differentiate, the list goes on and on. However, there are simple ways to plan more effectively that will save a lot of time in the long run.

Save lesson preparation time with online resources
Figuring out how to get it all done is a challenge for all teachers. Sometimes it will feel like there are simply not enough hours in the day. It is estimated that between 20 and 40 percent of the 50 hours that a typical teacher currently works a week could be saved through existing modern technology. That could ultimately help relieve teacher burnout. In this talk we will look at different online services and resources that teachers can take advantage of preparing for their lessons.

Universal activities or how to stop reinventing the wheel
It's not a secret that teachers spend hours on lesson preparation, and sometimes it might take even more time than the teaching itself. In this session I will share my favorite materials and activities that may be effectively used at different ages and levels to save you precious time for something else on your teaching or personal list.

Efficient Lesson Preparation and Effective Teaching
Time sometimes feels like it just slips away? Our job is a vocation and our dedication to quality education can drive us to sacrifice too much of our personal time. Can we make lesson preparation more efficient without losing quality and dedication? I know we can! We have a job to do and we have tools to help. In my talk, we are going to streamline lesson preparation by building our toolbox. We are going to go over methodologies, types of activities, classroom management, and how to streamline our choices when preparing for a lesson.
This simple approach starts with understanding our goals for a lesson, picking the right tools to reach that goal and putting together a solid lesson plan efficiently that will help students reach that goal.

Templates. Templates? Templates!
Did you know that you can create a template for EVERYTHING? Of course not! :) But many things can be carefully prepared for with the help of certain digital tools and your imagination and experience. Templates save a lot of time when you plan lesson sequences, activities and... well, what else do you need? :)

To hit four birds with one stone: multifunctional approach to teaching English in contemporary materials
One of the ways of saving class time without reducing the effectiveness of classes is using a new generation of teaching materials that tend to be multifunctional. The examples will be considered from the newest Cambridge publications 'Power Up' and 'Open World" that serve as General English courses for Primary and Secondary school learners, exam preparation materials, multicultural awareness resources and, what is very important today, develop 21st century skills systematically on the basis of the new Cambridge Framework for Life Competencies.

Personalized learning: time-saving or time-consuming?
It is a commonly recognized fact that personalization is an integral part of a successful communicative lesson. Utilizing your students' interests, ideas and experiences to teach languages forms the bases for Humanistic methodology, facilitates building rapport, increases students' confidence and motivation, brings life and authenticity in the classrooms.
Personalized activities are sometimes viewed as demanding and time-consuming, requiring extra preparation time from teachers. In my presentation I will try to prove that the outcomes outweigh the efforts and share some practical ideas on how to turn time-consumers into time-savers.

Turning activities into meaningful tasks
Research supports using tasks in the classroom as a way of supporting second language acquisition. However, creating focused, meaningful and engaging tasks from scratch can often be time consuming. In this session, we will discover what defines a task and how it is different to an activity, why tasks are important, and how to create meaningful tasks from uninspiring coursebook activities in a quick and easy way.

Gaming Vs Gamification – Is There A Difference?
Everyday a lot of teachers use games in the classroom and say that they gamify their lessons. But games are not gamification. Gamification and games help to engage students, motivate them to succeed, and inspire them to achieve their true potential. But there are notable differences between these two popular approaches.
In this talk, I'll compare and contrast gamification versus games, then highlight the benefits of using them in your teaching practice..

Grab - and - Go teaching tools for an effective revision lesson
Having once experienced the workload of 200+ hours a month, I've become a fan of non-stop search and creation of versatile teaching tools that help to save a ton of lesson preparation time. For instance, it's often a challenge for a teacher to put together an interesting revision lesson where multiple unconnected topics might be used. I'll be happy to share some highly adaptable ideas and ready-made solutions that will help you save up your time and energy for the classroom.

Online Escape Room Games for ELT
An escape room is an adventure game set within a confined space in which players solve puzzles to unlock the door. Online escape room games lend themselves particularly to language teaching and include elements of interactive storytelling and role-playing games. During this workshop, we will look at designing an online live listening escape room game for language learning. First you will be invited to play an escape room game and then I will present ideas of how different elements such as puzzles, props, and codes can be combined to produce a stimulating game and which can be adapted to maximize the practice of English.
