11:00-11:15;<b>Welcome</b> 11:15-11:35;<b>Victoria Sixtell</b> <br>Taming your Imposter Syndrome <br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">According to the statistics, more than 80% of people face at least one of the symptoms of the imposter syndrome: for example, the feeling that all your achievements are just a stroke of luck. Surprisingly, the syndrome usually hits the high achievers. It does not only affects the teacher’s mental condition, but the learners suffer from it too. The Imposter Syndrome can’t be cured completely, as it is not even a disease, but we can learn how to use it for our benefit. I’ll share simple but effective techniques that help me and my students deal with it.</h7> 11:35-11:45;<b>Break</b> 11:45-12:05;<b>Elena Peresada</b> <br>How Community Helps You Discover Yourself<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">It's important for every person to have a sense of community. <br>Being a part of a community can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can give us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and makes us feel safe and secure. Also it can help us see new business opportunities and extra income.<br>What if you can’t find such kind of community? Create your own.<br>We’ll talk about simple steps any teacher can make to build a professional community in their regions. The talk will be followed by a Mastertmind session in ELT Cafe where each participant will end up with Your Community Strategy for 2023.</h7> 12:05-12:15;<b>Break</b> 12:15-12:35;<b>Elena Roi</b> <br>Masterminds for teachers<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">During the last 3 years online ELT community started to grow. A lot of freelance teachers started joining clubs, groups or chats in order to share their ideas or to get a valid advice on teaching. One of the formats, that has proven to be affective, is a mastermind for teachers. I have been conducting such meetings with teachers for a year already. There are several possible formats, which I would like to share and show in practice how they work.</h7> 12:35-12:45;<b>Break</b> 12:45-13:05; <b>Veronika Bandurina</b> <br>RE-source: как заново влюбиться в то, что делаешь* <br>*сессия будет проходить на русском языке"<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">Затяжная зима, бесконечные дела и планы уроков, каникулы еще нескоро, а отдыхать хочется уже сейчас. Где же прячется сундучок с сокровищами вашей энергии и как вернуть искорку в глазах первой сентябрьской недели? <br>Пересматриваем концепт ресурса в контексте преподавательской деятельности и заглядываем за занавес его привычной роли. Что происходит за сценой? Что там прячется? Куда он уходит? Как восстановить свое ресурсное состояние? Каждый участник уйдет с идеями, инсайтами и одним готовым универсальным решением о том, как пополнить свой ресурс</h7> 13:05-13:35;<b>Lunch break</b> 13:35-13:55;<b>Eugene Lichkin</b> <br>Question Level-Up: achieving higher-order thinking with ease<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">Many students don’t feel comfortable being curious at school. They’ve learned that asking a question might make them look foolish, slow down the class, or even upset the teacher. That’s why our students who live in an informational hyper-saturated world so often tell us they’re not interested in anything. <br>But we still can make a difference. Culture of curiosity is a cornerstone of the student’s interest and motivation. And a properly asked question is a solid scaffold to help them ascend higher levels of thinking - keeping in mind that there are no two classes alike!<br>We’re going to discuss a couple of easy yet powerful tools that will naturally unlock endless opportunities for every curious mind in your classroom!</h7> 13:55-14:05;<b>Break</b> 14:05-14:25;<b>Maxim Gusev</b> <br>Giving instructions. The essential tips on how to explain tasks efficiently.<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">Explaining what to do in a task is one of the most frequent routines in teaching practice. In his talk Max is going to give practical recommendations on how to maximise the instruction giving process and thus make lessons more productive and less stressful.</h7> 14:25-14:35;<b>Break</b> 14:35-14:55;<b>Masha Yolkina</b> <br>Listening with Young Learners. How to make it more lexical and help students impove the skill.<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">Students have listened for the task multiple times and still haven't understood enough!’ We bet many teachers would find this situation familiar. <br>That is because probably the most common problem when teaching listening is that students do not hear sounds and have difficulty with recognising the language they already know. Thus, they do not understand the meaning of the piece they just heard. Unfortunately, just listening to the audio several times won’t help. If one of your aims is to improve your students’ listening skills, then Masha’s talk might be a big help.<br>Masha shows how to approach listening with Young Learners and focuses on key principles of teaching listening to kids lexically. She also talks about how to help students understand and hear more language and how to make more out of common listening tasks.</h7> 14:55-15:05;<b>Break</b> 15:05-15:25;<b>Nadezhda Manokhina</b> <br>How to fall in love with reading<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">For many people reading seems to be a daunting task - boring and time-consuming. In my talk I am going to share some ideas for promoting reading outside the classroom. We will discuss how to choose authentic books for different levels, how to organize discussions, and how to boost students’ interest in reading fiction and non-fiction books. I will share my experience of running book clubs for students and how they contribute to developing reading skills such as maintaining concentration, focusing on meaning rather than on individual words and the speed of reading.</h7> 15:35-15:55;<b>Lina Charif</b> <br>Supporting Students Through Social Emotional Learning <br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">This session will cover the importance of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), its impact on student well-being at all levels, and the school’s roles and responsibilities to provide students with a safe learning environment where student well-being is a natural component of the learning process. Participants will take away engaging SEL strategies that can be directly implemented in their classes.</h7> 15:55-16:05;<b>Break</b> 16:05-16:25;<b>Julia Blinova</b> <br>Not Here, Not Now: Asynchronous Microlearning Explained<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">Asynchronous Microlearning sounds quite daring, but this is an elephant that can be totally eaten. In my talk, I am going to share a bit of theory behind this tool and discuss the hows and the whys of taking it aboard: what it is, who it is for, and how it can be implemented and marketed.</h7> 16:25-16:35;<b>Break</b> 16:35-16:55;<b>Sveta Volkova</b> <br>Сoaching in the classroom<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">As tutors we need not only to educate our clients on behalf of the language structures, but to coach them, help them release frustration and properly direct them. Each student has their own goal in the language, which requests different learning methods. During my presentation I’m going to illustrate how to separate realistic goals from unrealistic ones, how to make a viable plan of the lessons taking their actual goal into account and how to comfort students and be there for them.</h7> 16:55-17:05;<b>Break</b> 17:05-17:25;<b>Anya Ermyagina</b> <br>The Circle of Stories: how stories can help us communicate with students in a meaningful way<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">We have had the key skill for inspiration since childhood - the ability to tell stories. Stories convey key messages in a way that is both simple and profound - that’s why they can inspire and change something in the thoughts, beliefs and behavior of other people.<br>During the session we will try out the tool which can harness the power of story to create change. Together we will find authentic memories and craft them into real and meaningful stories. With a structured and easy-to-try approach you will be able to use this tool in your class and make your lessons fun and engaging.</h7> 17:25-17:35;<b>Break</b>; 17:35-17:55;<b>Aleksandra Efimenko</b> <br>All we need is a song<br><br> <h7 style="font-size: 11px">How singing helps to boost your young learners' speaking skills. Practical singing session.<br>The musical approach in teaching young learners used by Aleksandra and teachers who work at her school not only boosts little students' speaking skills, but also increases their motivation and interest in language learning. Be ready to warm up, sing and dance ! Aleksandra will be demonstrating all the potential of this teaching tool.</h7> 17:55-18:10;<b>Closure</b>
