Keynote details:
There has been a big push on the importance of creativity in education recently. What are the benefits of creativity in language education and on a personal level? How do we encourage creativity amongst our students and foster our own creative endeavours? Sylvia will consider these questions as she reflects on the importance of creativity in our professional and personal lives. Be ready to step out of your comfort zone during this fun and interactive talk as Sylvia takes you through a number of activities to get those creative ideas flowing, ideas that you can easily bring back into your classroom.
