Room 111: Colin Mackenzie: "Building rapport from the very first lesson" (MANGT) - IMT Atlantique

Good rapport in the classroom is essential for creating a positive learning atmosphere. It encourages collaboration and supportiveness; improves learner motivation and performance; and is good for teacher well-being. And it all starts in the first lesson.

In this workshop we will look at the why of building rapport and then, through participation on a variety of activities, the how. Emphasis will be on rapport building in the first lessons, but activities will also be suggested for sustaining it.
