Welcome to the First Language Lesson of the Year webinar! Are you a language teacher looking to start your school year positively and have your students enthused for the year ahead? Join me for this free online webinar where we will discuss the importance of starting the year in a positive manner; enlightening students both linguistically and culturally but also answering questions that students will no doubt have regarding what their experience will look like.

Discover practical tips and strategies that motivate and enhance your students' experience from the very start. Don't miss out on this opportunity to start the year firmly on the front foot. You'll leave with a full lesson PowerPoint for your first lesson back packed full of ideas to set the tone with your classes for the forthcoming year. I'd be delighted if you joined me.

Features of session:

• What should a 1st lesson NOT look like?

• How to get students to see the bigger picture and buy in immediately

• Explaining and justifying your approach with the students

• Deciding how much work should students complete in that first lesson
