Ternopil ENCOURSE Day#4 November 21

Ternopil INSETT. British Council Ukraine.

The final Module 3 focused on designing a TBL lesson plan aimed at developing mediation competencies in the English classroom. We started with a Trading Game, played twice: first to exchange word definitions related to mediation, and then to step into the role of advertisers, promoting different online platforms useful for teaching.

Next, the teachers watched a model TBL lesson delivered by the course author, Chris Cotterill, and then collaborated in groups to create their own lesson plans.

It was truly inspiring to see such a motivated team so fully engaged in productive work — and even more rewarding to watch them moving confidently toward the goals of the course.

 Day 3. Module 2 was dedicated to mediation strategies and simulations.

We also took time to reflect on our TBL lessons — and it really helped us see how powerful and meaningful this approach can be for learners.

Feeling inspired to keep growing!

English Teachers' Certification. Stage 3. Lessons Observation and Interview

November 11 was a hectic day for me, both rewarding and exhausting. The experts from Zhytomyr oblast observed how I was conducting lessons in forms 5 and 2. The experience is unforgettable and the results are more than satisfying. My learners did a great job fulfilling the tasks and being actively engaged in the learning process. In vain I feared that the level of village students is insufficient to show my expertise in practice. Everything worked much better than I expected and I am sincerely grateful to my learners for being open and cooperative. A huge 'thank you' to experts Kateryna and Tetiana for being with me the whole day and evaluating my professional competencies so high. The result is maximum for schools with no learners with SEN/inclusion.

Оn Day 2, Module 1 focused on a task-based learning lesson. Although the teachers were initially puzzled, by the end of the day they not only recognised the advantages of this lesson type but were also eager to implement it in their own classrooms. Dear ladies, we are delighted to have such enthusiastic teachers on board. We look forward to seeing your Practicum 1.
