Teacher Talks - Sharing expertise and experience

Teacher Talks - Sharing expertise and experiences


 

Things worth sharing


We´ve had something up our sleeve for the last few weeks and we´re ready to do what we love and share it with you!

Here in Barcelona, our team of Oxinity teachers have been preparing short Teacher Talks, or presentations, to share their specialised area of interest or expertise during our Friday Meetings.

Our intention is to give some insight into the different subjects, skills or experiences that we all have and share them with each other so that we have a broader outlook on things and to have some insight into these different areas to help us when we are teaching and creating new content.

So far we have had 12 Teacher Talks from a wide variety of subject areas and backgrounds, so take a look below and see if any of these Teacher Talks would interest you, click the link and enjoy!

It's never too late to learn how to teach
by Elena Riches
As we grow older it’s all very easy to sit and wonder why we didn't do certain things before it became ‘too late’.  And whenever I hear people say, ‘I wish I’d done this’ my response is always, “What’s stopping you from doing it now?”, a question that usually stops a person in their tracks and makes them think. ...

False Friend
by Elena Riches
For anyone who's never taught English or taken an advanced English course, you could be forgiven for assuming that a 'false friend' is someone who pretends to like you when they don't.
