Three Reasons to Attend Beyond the Programme in Warsaw
A student starts speaking in English, makes a mistake, and suddenly goes quiet. Another understands the lesson topic but gets lost in a long instruction. What can a teacher do in each of these situations? For Ukrainian educators working in Ukraine or currently living in Poland, we recommend checking out three key presentations at the in-person conference Beyond the Programme on November 25.
How to correct mistakes while keeping the conversation flowing
At 10:30, Aleksandra Cichoń will discuss how a teacher's reaction impacts a student's willingness to try again. Here is a simple technique you can test in your very next lesson: when a child says "Yesterday I go to the park", support their thought and repeat the verb in the correct form: "Oh, you went to the park! What did you do there?" The student hears the correct structure and is encouraged to keep sharing.
How to adapt tasks for students with varying English levels
At 12:45, math teacher Wojciech Wątor will draw from his own classroom experience to demonstrate how he uses AI to adapt learning materials. For an English teacher, this could mean providing the entire class with the same story while offering a short glossary and sentence starters to students who find it difficult to jump into the discussion. This way, everyone can contribute to the conversation about the same text.
How to help a child feel included in a new classroom
At 10:10, Faye Head from Cambridge International Education will address a topic particularly close to Ukrainian teachers in Poland: how to support a child entering a new school community while helping them maintain a connection to their native language and culture. At 14:40, you can continue this conversation about school experiences during a panel discussion featuring educators from Poland.
