Frank McGirr is a teacher and photographer based in Gernmany. Here Frank talks about his session on at the Image Conference in Lisbon.
I am an advocate of flipped learning who has developed pioneering new ways of using the approach in language learning. Student centred,self-discovery lies at the heart of flipped learning, a characteristic I utilise in my presentations. Attendees gain insight through prior exposure, experience and participation. Delegates are required to complete a learning exercise before coming to conference, and take part in paired discussion at the conference. Please watch this video and complete the learning activity mentioned in it before the conference.
I will lead the audience through the process of creating flipped learning lessons, and convey that not only is the use of video and images engaging – it is central to language learning.
