"Empowering your Learners - developing Learner Autonomy"
Although this is not a new topic, it has certainly become more relevant than ever! Online teaching, which teachers all had to get involved with recently, has shown us that students who know how and are motivated to learn on their own are a necessity when teaching remotely and not just “nice to have.”
- How do we motivate students to want to learn independently?
- Which traditional and which online resources are available to help us guide them and enable us to encourage them on this learning journey?
Come and join us for this seminar that will give you new ideas for your classroom, whether virtual or traditional. We look forward to seeing you at the Spring Seminar!

*Please note that you can only sign up for one workshop level. We have offered several free webinars throughout the year 2020 to support our teachers and schools during the Corona crisis. The Spring Seminar 2021 will be online and offers more than a webinar: we have engaged international experts who will share their knowledge in high-quality workshops. With the fee we are charging for the seminar we will be covering the presenter fees. Seminar participants will also be receiving all the benefits mentioned above. Those who have attended before have experienced the quality of the event. If you have never attended, this is your chance! You won’t be disappointed!
Your benefits and why you won't want to miss it
To be honest, we'd rather have the Spring Seminar as a live event but different times call for different actions. Our upcoming Cambridge English Spring Seminar will be different: online. Nevertheless, having it online brings benefits along for you too (no travel time, no organisation of accommodation, breaks with your family or own best tea/coffee, just to name a few).
We assure you that you will receive an enriching seminar also by taking part online this time.
- The largest & most popular Cambridge event in Switzerland
- High-quality workshops (B1-C2) & 2 plenary sessions
- International Cambridge experts leading the workshops
- Live Presentations & interactive online sessions
- On-demand videos available after the seminar to rewatch the session for deep dives
- Publisher presentations & exclusive goodies
- Personal participation folder with free support material
- Teacher Development: Certificate of Attendance
Whether you teach exam preparation classes, conversation or literature courses, you will benefit from this seminar and will not want to miss this opportunity for your own development and that of your students. In addition, your students will be able to apply new strategies to areas of learning other than their English classes. You will benefit not only from what the presenters will be sharing with you but also from the ideas of your colleagues.
Join us for an enriching and productive seminar.
