QR-CODES AS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TEACH FOREIGN LANGUAGES

NATALYA HANCHAR,

Gymnasium № 9 of Grodno, EFL Teacher

My direct developments are related to the widespread introduction of QR-coding technology in the educational process. The first experience of using the technology was the release of three manuals. The next stage of the introduction of QR-technology in the educational process is the development and production of educational cards on the topics "Food" and "Clothing. Weather. Color". In support of the educational and methodological simulator for teaching reading in English and manuals, a website was developed www.enread.by, which contains a set of training resources, test tasks, and interactive support materials that promote learning in English. The main feature of the resource is the presence of a plug-in for visually impaired children. The use of authentic materials by foreign language teachers allowed us to create a fundamentally new learning environment that allows us to simultaneously simulate speech dialogue, virtually represent the audio or video environment of the language and culture being studied, and monitor the development of language material.

IS THE COFFEE REALLY BLACK? DEVELOPING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

OLGA TSIUSHKEVICH

Streamline Language School,

Teacher Trainer

Lessons with incorporated elements of critical thinking have great potential for improving language skills of English learners and developing their 21st century success skills. To accomplish these goals, we will show a working model that helps ELT teachers understand the role of critical thinking in the context of their lesson aims, classroom practice, and materials design. In the workshop we will analyze students’ books for the presence of a critical thinking component and answer the question whether it is possible to develop critical thinking in low-level students.
