Energise your Classroom
This LANGUAGECERT for Teachers webinar series explores how transition shapes teaching and learning. Across the season, we look at ways to adapt to new classroom realities, build psychological safety, manage resistance and support growth, with practical ideas, reflective insights and space for community conversation.
Moving Beyond the One-Line Answer: From Speaking Assessment to Classroom Practice
"Can you say a bit more?" It's a familiar prompt when preparing learners for speaking exams, but it doesn't always produce the response we're hoping for. That's because there isn't just one reason learners give one-line answers, and the same solution won't work every time.
Join Claire Zhang and Nancy Katsikari for an interactive session that connects assessment thinking with everyday teaching. Using real examples from LANGUAGECERT speaking tasks, we'll diagnose what's really behind those one-line answers and try out practical fixes for each. You'll leave with classroom-ready activities and the LANGUAGECERT Speaking Teacher Guide to help learners give fuller, more confident answers, in the exam and beyond.
