Variety is the spice of life. Would you agree it’s the spice of teaching and learning as well? This practical workshop aims at answering the questions of what to vary, when and how in order to keep your learners and you engaged, the lesson well-balanced and flowing smoothly. You’ll try out a number of tasks to let you experience first-hand how variety can spice up your own English classes of any level and age.
