Dear Participants,
Thank you for agreeing to participate
in
the upcoming 5th Year English Teachers
Retreat.
The retreat is divided into 2 days
on November
11th and 12th. The English Retreat
consists
of a variety of workshops and fun learning
activities that will allow you to communicate
in English in a relaxed and comfortable
environment.
This is a great opportunity for you
to exchange
and create many new teaching ideas
with other
English teachers.
The two days will consist of some getting
to know you activities, which will
allow
you to speak freely and interact with
other
participants and AETs. Following these
activities
there will be two workshops one about
phonics
and the other about cross-cultural
awareness.
These workshops and many other activities
will give you an opportunity to be
an active
participant and to use your English
in a
creative manner. The following is a
copy
of the conference schedule.
