WORKSHOPS:

• Maja Labaš Horvat,prof.izvrsni savjetnik, Srednja škola Prelog, Prelog: Teaching mediation across levels: practical examples from the classroomThe workshop provides teachers with practical strategies and a clearer understanding of how to develop mediation skills in EFL learners. By using speaking, writing, reading, and listening activities that require students to paraphrase, summarize, and explain, they actively engage in a deeper learning process.
• TeaHorvatić, učitelj mentor, Osnovna škola Strahoninec, Strahoninec: Slay the Lexicon: A Practical Guide to Classroom Neologisms
  Stop fighting the "brainrot" and start using it to your advantage! This session turns classroom-basedresearch into a practical survival guide for bridging the gap between "textbook English" and the viral slang students actually speak.
  You’ll walk away with ready-to-use activities for teaching register and morphology, capped off with aninteractive Kahoot to test your own "rizz".
• Željka Novak Božić, mag.educ.mentor, Osnovna škola Donja Dubrava, Donja Dubrava: Writing skill in EFL: Students learn to write by writing and a safeclassroom environment leads to better writingthat is why small, regular tasks bring long-term results (theory and real examples)

​Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
