ESL Lesson Plan

April 11-12th, 2008.

Hosted by the College of the North Atlantic- Qatar, this conference will address practical issues in the classroom. Some of these practical issues might include such things as what it means to be an excellent teacher, how to create energy in the classroom, how to motivate learners, specific strategies that work well in the Gulf region, etc.

In addition to the workshops, presentations and poster sessions, there will also be a publishers display which will offer you the chance to look through some of the publications that are currently on offer.
