"Made to Measure: Creative Reading and Writing Activities for Young Learners"                                      16.30. - Saturday, 5^th September 2009.

A long-standing prejudice among EFL teachers is that materials with an imaginative content can only be used with advanced learners and that creative reading and writing activities should be circumscribed to them. It will be the purpose of the workshop to prove the opposite through the presentation of ‘Made to Measure´: teaching materials designed by a group of Argentine teachers under the auspices of the British Council. They are based on thought-provoking stories and poems by distinguished contemporary UK writers for young learners  at  intermediate level. (The ‘Made to Measure' booklet will be provided to all participants).
