Bio: Multi-skilled professional who works as a Freelance ELT teacher educator, materials writer and editor, speaker, and course designer. English Master at Lumiar, president of BRAZ-TESOL's São Paulo City Chapter, and BRAZ-TESOL's national advisory board member. Abstract: In this webinar, we will explore simple yet powerful ways you can be creative with your coursebook. We will look at 5 different coursebook activities and how these can be used as is or as inspiration for the writing of your lessons. These activities cover a range of moments in a unit of a coursebook, namely reading, listening, controlled and freer practice moments, writing, and self-assessment. We will look at examples of these activities and discuss how each of them can be used and adapted to fit a wide range of contexts together with their theoretical background to support these choices. Participants will be encouraged to comment on and criticize each of the activities so we can get that extra oomph from this webinar as well.
