Dear colleagues,

I would like to invite you to our third HUPE Osijek Branch meeting for this school year, which will take place on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 9 am at the Faculty of Education in Osijek (Fakultet za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti, Ulica cara Hadrijana 10, Osijek).

Agenda:

1) Ivana Štiglec: Teaching culture through engaging and interactive learning scenarios

In order to develop our students’ intercultural communication competence and to make sure that one day they will be able to interact with people from other cultures and act as global citizens we need to design meaningful, engaging and interactive lessons that will motivate students and develop a sense of wonder for both other cultures and their own culture. EFL classrooms are an ideal place to do so and this presentation will demonstrate how using various activity types, web tools and different information sources can help create cultural lessons that will exude enthusiasm and engagement among your students.

2) Lidija Šaravanja & Ivana Marinić: How to teach Gen Alpha?

Do we understand how and why things in our classrooms change significantly from time to time? There is a theory called the Strauss–Howe generational theory based on the research of American society. It was conducted by demographers and social scientists and the results can be applied by educators, parents, psychologists and anthropologists as well as many other interested parties. The aim of the presentation is to raise awareness about the characteristics of the generations in our classrooms and to provide some examples on how to address them and help them develop the skills they will need throughout their lives.

3) Teacher training course in London
