Making it personal means making it meaningful Liam Tyler Macmillan English IPT Russia

Whats the difference?

Why do we continue to…. give students boring, impersonal, irrelevant tasks? try to drill and train students? try to get students to store and retrieve impossible amounts of information?

Lets make teaching more personal, more human!

Personalising learning 1.What is personalised learning? 2.Why personalise learning? 3.What does personalising learning involve? 4.Examples of personalised activities and resources: vocabulary, grammar and speaking.

1. What is personalised learning?

Personalised learning is….. asking personal questions about learners: salary; age; relationships. taking into account learning styles and approaches. allowing learners complete control over what goes on in class. becoming our students best friends. finding out about learner opinions and interests. putting the learner at the centre of the learning process.

Personalised learning….. takes into account prior learning and experience. involves finding out about learners. gives students choice and voice. is about localisation and humanisation. involves learner-centred activities and tasks.

2. Why should we personalise learning?
