-Why is empathy an important concept for today's teaching community?

JS: In your years of experience as a teacher, teacher educator and writer, how have your beliefs regarding teaching and learning changed? Has any paradigm shifted along the way?

During the pandemic, millions of students have been thrown into online versions of their classes and the results have varied. What has become clear is that following an online lesson on a screen from home can be more taxing for students and it can be more difficult for the teacher to maintain their attention. One tool that we can use to cope with this is the implementation of microbreaks: short breaks during a period of work.

Dear Foreign Language Professional,

The time for us to meet for the first time this year, the Spring ’26 Athens IPE, has come.

At an era that algorithms and platforms are designed not to show you what you want to see, but what you can’t look away from, we challenge you to interact with colleagues and friends.

We offer two free theatre plays in English for you to enjoy with your students.

We offer workshops on the importance of connection and discipline for both parents and educators.

To get your learners’ eyes back into their vocabulary notebooks and to give them opportunities to speak ‘new’ words and phrases,  try a group revision activity, “From Letter to Word to Sentence”:

Prepare cards with an alphabet letter on each.  You can choose those letters which are frequently the initial letters of the vocabulary words that your learners have been presented.  You will need 3-4 letter cards for each learner or pair of learners you have in class.

ΑΠΑΝΤΗΣΗ: Θα το κάνουμε με ευχαρίστηση. Θα απαντάμε και σε ερωτήσεις καθηγητών/τριών όλων των άλλων ξένων γλωσσών, ακόμη και ελληνικών που διδάσκονται ως ξένη γλώσσα. Και βέβαια, και οι καθηγητές/τριες αγγλικών θα μπορούν να τις χρησιμοποιήσουν, γιατί όλοι ακολουθούμε τις ίδιες αρχές μεθοδολογίας στη διδασκαλία ξένων γλωσσών.
