Language World 2025 #LW2025

I returned yesterday from the 2025 Language World Conference with a head full of information and ideas, and a notebook full of notes.  Well, full-ish of notes, as there were some sessions (for example the ones I was chairing) that I decided to just listen to.

The title of my talk was A rich tapestry of adaptable lesson ideas!  (The theme of the conference prompted a lot of weaving and stitching analogies as well as AI-generated pictures of the same!)


I had time to talk about 20 different activities:
  1. Which one do I not say?
  2. Sentence builder bingo
  3. Listening Chests
  4. Pointing game
  5. Trapdoor/Cluedo
  6. Sit down when yours is different
  7. Working off the grid
  8. Guess my sentence
  9. Listen read write
  10. Rapping
  11. Dialogues
  12. Messing around with text
  13. Describing a poster
  14. Odd one out
  15. Analysing text
  16. Post-It grids
  17. Pair writing
  18. Pictogram sentences
  19. Dice roll activities
  20. Kim's game
You can read more about these activities and 100 others here.

Here are my notes from some of the other sessions I attended:
