Many of us struggle with trying to engage and motivate teenagers to learn a language. It is one of the most common challenges that teachers in secondary education face. Entering the wider world of language use has the potential to improve young learners’ communication skills.   

It will also prepare them for a future where they have the confidence and skills to communicate effectively. In this session, we will explore ways we can bring authenticity to the secondary classroom. We will also see what resources and assessment tools are available to help teachers target their instruction and allow students to take more ownership of their learning.
