Engaging Young Learners in Speaking and Writing: Strategies for Success

This 90-minute webinar is designed for ELT educators who work with young learners and are looking for effective strategies to develop speaking and writing skills. These productive skills are essential for young learners as they begin to express themselves in English, both orally and in writing. The session will explore practical, age-appropriate activities that can be easily implemented in the classroom, including:

• interactive speaking games
• creative writing tasks
• strategies for scaffolding both skills

Participants will engage in hands-on tasks, share their experiences, and plan lessons that integrate speaking and writing in a way that is engaging and accessible for young learners. By the end of the webinar, educators will have a toolkit of strategies to help their students build confidence and competence in speaking and writing.
