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:
- Which one do I not say?
- Sentence builder bingo
- Listening Chests
- Pointing game
- Trapdoor/Cluedo
- Sit down when yours is different
- Working off the grid
- Guess my sentence
- Listen read write
- Rapping
- Dialogues
- Messing around with text
- Describing a poster
- Odd one out
- Analysing text
- Post-It grids
- Pair writing
- Pictogram sentences
- Dice roll activities
- 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:
