It doesn �t sound like a the best kind of vacation to me but what about doing a workshop using material from eslprintables?
Each teacher could have a selection of three or four contributions from the site (a variety would be good, WS, online ex and power point) and ask each one (or perhaps pairs) to make suggestions as to how best to use the resources with a group or a class. They could present the ideas to the other teachers and maybe use brainstorming to come up with some great ideas and lesson plans.
Good luck to you all whatever is decided. |

I agree completely with Esther that your workshop could be based on eslprintables. A lot of contributors here have their unique style of arranging and presenting material, so we can �t help admiring their works. Some provide us with picture-based discussions, some with problem-solving tasks, some are real experts at inventing games and conversation activities. So why not, for example, call your workshop "Innovative techniques and methods of teaching English"? You introduce the author and tell about his/her worksheets, discuss his/her principle of systemization of language material. Or, perhaps, each teacher of your school will be responsible for presenting a certain method, etc. You, personally, can tell about your own contributions, how you progressed in making worksheets and developed your own style. So good luck to you and all the best! |

I agree with Natashenka and aliciapc. Why not concentrate on different methods of teaching? That �s a single, cohesive theme. Then you can have workshops led by different people on methods that each teacher finds especially effective. You, for example, might talk about your wonderful use of multimedia. Your next-door neighbor might discuss games. The teacher down the hall might mention effective discipline or distraction techniques. You learn from each other.
We tend to assume that our teachers know the subject matter, so we don �t teach grammar or pronunciation in our workshops. We focus more on HOW to teach than WHAT to teach. |

Same here, Moody, we never focus on the English language itself but HOW to teach it and THROUGH it ... BTW, how to use CLIL is another good topic for a workshop ! |
