She also shared her methods of working with such students and presented her materials, which she has developed through years of working with SEN students.
The second workshop, titled The valuable skill of note-taking in practice, was held by Gabrijela Haramustek and Marta Šarčanin, who did their best to present different techniques they use in class to teach students how to take notes during listening and reading exercises. They also provided the participants with sample activities that should help them introduce note-taking in their classrooms.
