Do your learners groan when it’s time to open the book? This interactive session offers a fresh alternative to coursebook fatigue by exploring how stories can transform classroom dynamics. You’ll walk away with ready-to-use tips, age-appropriate activities, and creative ideas that bring English to life for kids aged 5–10: all grounded in real classroom practice. Come get inspired, equipped, and ready to make learning feel like an adventure again.
