Surprises, Puzzles and Problem Solving: A Painless Approach to Classroom Management

Classroom management is often the primary concern of many new teachers and often a big headache for those with experience. This talk will explore how surprises, puzzles and problem solving can increase learner engagement and in turn decrease the need for overt classroom management. Primarily focusing on engaging adults and teenage learners; topics discussed will include exam practice, grammar, vocabulary and error correction and how classroom management can be made easier by changing your approach towards them.
