Methods and activities for more effective teaching with less preparation
Ken Lackman has been presenting workshops for English language instructors since
1996. Ken Lackman and Associates was formed in 2007 to offer teacher training
sessions to schools and other language teaching organizations. Since that time, we
have presented over 100 workshops at schools and conferences in Canada and
Europe. Schools on that list include private language schools, numerous LINC schools,
and several universities and colleges. Conferences include TESL Toronto, TESL
Hamilton, TESL North York, TESL Ottawa (keynote speaker), TESL Ontario and the
prestigious IATEFL conferences in the United Kingdom.
Although we offer a wide range of workshops, our focus is on activities and lesson
frameworks that will allow teachers to plan effective lessons more easily. These lesson
frameworks and activities are methodologically sound and completely student-centred.
Teachers who have used our methods and activities in their classes have remarked on
noticeable improvements in their lessons in terms of student involvement and motivation.
The Workshops
Some of our most popular workshops are the Framework for Prep-free Lessons series,
which were created by Ken Lackman to enable teachers to teach dynamic lessons with
virtually no planning. For the complete list of workshops click here.
Activity Books
Many of the materials from our workshops are available here in PDF format. These
booklets contain activities and lesson frameworks that will allow teachers to plan great
lessons more effectively. See the complete list here.
