课堂管理
Classroom Management by Dean Arthur Dean
Dean采用了关于课堂管理的误区作为培训的引入，他认为课堂管理不只是对行为习惯比较差的学生进行管理，而应该是向学生提供高质量的、能让他们积极参与的教学内容和活动，这样行为习惯的问题就不会发生。
Dean started off his session by dispelling a myth about classroom management. It is not about managing poorly behaved students. Rather, classroom management it about providing engaging, high quality learning experience for students so problem behaviors don’t occur.
TESOL教学法：交际教学法和教师职业发展
TESOL Best Practices: Communicative Language Teaching and Continuing Teacher Development by Jeff Brown
Jeff的培训是关于TESOL教学法，在他的培训中，他和老师们分享了CLT（交际教学法）。交际教学法是以学生为中心，在教学中老师不再被视为知识的提供者，学生也不再是被动的学习者。交际教学法的最终目的是让学生通过多样化的教学任务和活动来学习和发展语言交流的能力。
Jeff’s workshop focused on TESOL best practices. In the session, he shared an approach to teaching called CLT. CLT is a learner-centered approach where teachers are no longer regarded as knowledge givers and learners are not passive knowledge receivers. The ultimate goal of this communicative approach is to develop learners' communicative competence through a variety of classroom tasks and activities.
考试培训教学中的高效策略
Effective Strategies for Teaching IELTS, TOEFL and SAT by Mr. Tao
本次培训还特邀了国内出国语言考试培训行业中的资深专家陶老师就语言培训的高效技巧和策略进行了专题分享。陶老师着重强调了语言培训中的准确性、变化性和逻辑性的题并就如何在教学中设置任务进行了讲解。
Teachers were treated to a special training by Mr. Tao regarding effective teaching strategies. He echoed the sentiments of the other presenters in emphasizing the mentoring or coaching role of teachers in effective instruction and that test preparation is all about students’ language accuracy and logic skills, not about teaching to the test.
学生为中心的教学
Making Student Centered Teaching Work by Dr. Carl Reid
Dr. Reid主要分享学生为中心的教学理念和方法。学生为中心的教学法由协作和提问式教学方法演化而来，在教学过程中教师由主导作用转变为各种问题的组织者。
Dr. Reid focused on student centered learning in his workshop. The student centered approach revolves around cooperative and inquiry-based learning. In it, the teacher shifts from a direct instruction role to a facilitator and delegator role.
学术与资源平台介绍

The platform can be ideal for teachers to upload and share all kinds of teaching materials and resources as well as effective management and analysis on student’s academic results and records.
