Why don’t students go home and study?

We ask our students to go home and study for the test, a few will do it, some will open their book and stare at it, while others won’t do anything at all. How can we help? In this very practical session, we’ll look at some interactive activities which encourage students to take more responsibility for their learning. In particular we’ll look at how we can reuse coursebook exercises so that our students do even better in the grammar, vocabulary and writing parts of a test. We hope that participants will leave with a bag of ideas for their next few classes.
