Makassed English Language Teachers' Conference

It was such a great opportunity to share our experience and knowledge as teachers of English Language while attending presentations and workshops and exchanging views at the Third Makassed English Language Teachers' Conference "Enriching Lives through Creative and Effective Teaching" which was held this year in Bekaa on June 26 and 27th. Various topics were discussed such as, Approaches to Teaching Vocabulary, Professional Development, Getting Students to Think Outside the Box, Motivation, Writing Modules, Community Building and many more. The variety of topics ensured that every teacher attending the conference would find a workshop or presentation that is of preference to her thus expanding her knowledge. It was a step forward on the road of professional development. The teachers did their best to make their presentations very appealing and beneficial. They enriched their work with many examples and activities. We would like to thank Miss Natasha for this wonderful chance that allowed most Makassed English Language teachers from Beirut, Bekaa, and South to meet again and share together. We would also like to thank the principal of Al-Marj School and everyone who made this event a success.
